Project 2025 - A Summary

Project 2025 is a 900-page blueprint, developed by conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, for a conservative administration to take power and impose a white Christian nationalist agenda on all Americans. Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025 because of its unpopularity but 31 of the 38 drafters were members of Trump’s administration and Trump is named over 300 times in the document.
