President Biden’s campaign is escalating attacks on Project 2025 after former President Trump criticized the plan. The Biden campaign referenced a Project 2025 video featuring Karoline Leavitt, who later became Trump’s national press secretary. Leavitt denied any involvement with the Trump campaign in the project.
The video, titled “Project 2025 Presidential Administration Academy,” shows Leavitt as a former Trump administration assistant press secretary. Despite appearing in the video, she clarified that she was only speaking about her experience as a federal government political appointee for The Heritage Foundation, the sponsor of Project 2025.
Project 2025, a conservative initiative by The Heritage Foundation, aims to lay the groundwork for a future conservative president. The Biden campaign has tried to link Trump to the plan due to its conservative views on issues like abortion. Trump, however, distanced himself from the project, stating he knows nothing about it and disagrees with some of its claims.
As the back-and-forth continues, the true intentions and implications of Project 2025 remain a topic of debate among political circles.
