Trump's Cabinet Picks Signal Embrace of Controversial Project 2025 Agenda

Despite disavowing the conservative blueprint during the campaign, Trump has appointed key Project 2025 contributors to pivotal government roles.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed several architects and supporters of Project 2025, a far-right policy blueprint, to key positions in his administration.
Russell Vought, a chief author of Project 2025, has been nominated to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a role he held during Trump’s first term.
Other appointees with ties to Project 2025 include Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, Thomas Homan as 'border czar,' and Brendan Carr for the Federal Communications Commission.
Project 2025 advocates for sweeping changes, including mass firings of career civil servants, stricter immigration enforcement, and the dismantling of federal agencies like the Department of Education and NOAA.
Critics argue that Trump’s appointments contradict his campaign disavowal of the plan and could lead to expanded executive power and diminished government expertise.
