Former President Donald Trump has denied any involvement in Project 2025, a massive plan to overhaul the federal government devised by his allies and former officials in his administration. The 922-page plan includes ideas such as expanding presidential power and replacing thousands of government workers with Trump loyalists. Trump distanced himself from the project, stating that he disagrees with some aspects of it and has no connection to it.
Despite Trump’s denial, the Biden campaign has been highlighting the controversial aspects of Project 2025, especially as Biden faces challenges within his own party after a rocky debate performance. The plan outlines drastic changes that Trump would enact if he were to win a second term, including massive deportations and imposing tariffs on imports.
Republicans involved in the project, including former administration officials, have hinted at a “bloodless” second American Revolution, sparking backlash from the Biden campaign. Project 2025’s goal is to share its 180-day agenda for the next administration privately and is not affiliated with any specific candidate or campaign, according to a spokesperson.
The Democratic National Committee has condemned the plan as part of the “MAGA operation,” while the Biden campaign has raised concerns about Project 2025’s extreme policy proposals. The controversy surrounding the project comes as the Republican Party prepares to draft its party platform and as Trump’s campaign continues to distance itself from the initiative.
