Despite publicly distancing himself from Project 2025 before the 2024 election, many of its proposals are now being implemented during Donald Trump's second term. Project 2025, a policy document published by the Heritage Foundation in April 2023, outlines an ultra-conservative vision for governing, including expanding presidential power and cutting the federal workforce. Experts say the document provided detailed legal and administrative methods for achieving these goals. Liberal groups tracking Trump's administration claim that approximately half of Project 2025's recommendations have been put into action, ranging from immigration crackdowns to renewed focus on Venezuela. The document served as a roadmap for Trump's policies after he assumed office.
