Donald Trump has publicly distanced himself from Project 2025, a conservative plan for a major federal government overhaul created by the Heritage Foundation and supported by many of his former aides. Despite his claims of being uninvolved, his connections to the project are evident through the involvement of his former staff and campaign officials. Trump's denial follows controversial statements by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, who alluded to a 'second American Revolution.' The Biden campaign has seized on this issue, highlighting it as part of a broader effort to underscore Trump's extreme agenda. Critics from various media and political spheres have scrutinized Trump's disavowal, seeing it as an attempt to moderate his image ahead of the 2024 election. The Heritage Foundation insists that Project 2025 is independent of any candidate and is merely a set of recommendations for the next conservative president.
