Snope Answers – What’s Project 2025?
Unpacking the Pro-Trump Plan to Overhaul US Government “…The Forces Behind Project 2025 – Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts launched Project 2025 in April 2022, a few months before Trump officially announcedhis reelection campaign. Since then, the number of groups backing the initiative has grown.
As of now, Project 2025’s advisory board and so-called “coalition partners” include: the Conservative Partnership Institute(CPI), a nonprofit that aims to connect conservative applicants to congressional jobs and is led by Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows; Turning Point USA, a far-rightstudent advocacy group that is led by Charlie Kirk; America First Legal, a legal advocacy group that supports conservative-backed lawsuits and is led by Trump stalwart Stephen Miller. (According to a June 2024 Politico report, Miller was part of private meetings with Trump to help him prepare for upcoming televised debates against Biden.)
Furthermore, in May 2024, Reuters interviewed what the news outlet described as unnamed Trump allies working on a plan to restructure the Department of Justice (DOJ) and fill currently nonpartisan jobs there with people who identify as conservatives. While the allies group wasn’t named, Reuters reported it was tied to Project 2025. Lastly, many authors of the roughly 1,000-page document outlining Project 2025’s policy proposals have connections to Trump. They include Ben Carson, William Perry Pendley, Jonathan Berry, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Rick Dearborn, Adam Candeub, Ken Cuccinelli, Mandy Gunasekara, Dennis Dean Kirk, Gene Hamilton, Christopher Miller, Bernard L. McNamee, Mora Namdar, Peter Navarro, Roger Severino, Paul Dans, Kevin Roberts, among others.”
