An initiative known as Progress 2028, presented as a liberal response to the conservative Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation, is actually operated by a dark money network tied to former President Donald Trump. Building America’s Future, the group behind the network, received funding from Elon Musk and others, steering support towards Trump’s agenda and targeting Kamala Harris. Progress 2028, registered under Building America’s Future, showcases parallels to Project 2025 and contains misleading claims about Harris.
The manifesto advocates for policies like empowering undocumented immigrants and expanding Medicaid, attributing these stances to Harris. However, Harris’s actual positions on healthcare, fracking, and gun control differ from what Progress 2028 portrays. The initiative has also invested in digital advertising to promote these misleading policies.
Building America’s Future has a history of influencing campaigns through dark money, including support for other pro-Trump groups. Attributing these actions to various fictitious names, the group continues to fund initiatives that misrepresent Democratic stances.
Overall, Progress 2028 serves as a deceptive platform to sway public opinion and influence political narratives, funded by shadowy sources without transparency.
