Trump Team Blacklists Project 2025 Affiliates from Future Administration

Donald Trump Jr. leads effort to exclude those linked to controversial Heritage Foundation initiative and others seen as disloyal.

Donald Trump Jr. is spearheading the creation of a blacklist targeting individuals connected to Project 2025 and those perceived as disloyal to former President Trump.
Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation initiative, has been criticized for its radical proposals, which Trump has publicly distanced himself from.
The blacklist also includes former Trump administration officials who resigned after the January 6 insurrection and those seen as establishment Republicans.
Critics argue that the blacklist could significantly reduce the pool of qualified candidates for a potential second Trump administration.
The Trump transition team emphasizes loyalty and fidelity to Trump's agenda as key criteria for future appointments, marking a shift from his first term.
