Former President Donald Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, an ambitious plan proposed by his allies to reshape the US federal government and expand presidential power. The controversial plan includes firing thousands of government workers to replace them with Trump loyalists.
While Trump denied any involvement in Project 2025, his re-election campaign has emphasized the agenda, drawing criticism from President Joe Biden’s camp. The Biden campaign fears the plan could undermine democratic checks and balances if Trump wins a second term.
The Heritage Foundation President, Kevin Roberts, hinted at a “second American Revolution” on a podcast hosted by former congressman Dave Brat. These comments sparked controversy and were condemned by Biden’s campaign as promoting violence.
Despite the uproar, Project 2025’s organizers maintain that they are a coalition of conservative groups advocating for policy recommendations, but the plan’s implementation will ultimately depend on the next president’s decisions.
