Is this the end of Project 2025, the plan that riled Donald Trump?
“CAN YOU BELIEVE they put that thing in writing?” Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, asked supporters in July. Dry policy documents—and this one runs to over 900 pages—do not usually make for exciting campaign fodder. But Democrats have pounced on “Project 2025”, pitched by its authors as a presidential transition plan for Donald Trump’s second term, should he win the election in November. It was published in April 2023. But the former president has in recent weeks disavowed the plan. Then on July 30th Paul Dans, who led the initiative, stepped down. (The Heritage Foundation, the think-tank co-ordinating Project 2025, claims Mr Dans’s departure was long planned.) Does this mark the end of Project 2025, or will a Trump administration still put its conservative ideas into practice?
