Former President Trump has once again denied any association with Project 2025, a detailed blueprint created by conservative activists at the Heritage Foundation outlining how a future Republican president could govern. Despite some authors of the blueprint having worked in the Trump White House, it is not officially tied to the Trump campaign.
Vice President Harris has been repeatedly invoking Project 2025, claiming it to be Trump's vision and warning of its potential dangers if he were to be re-elected. However, fact-checkers have deemed these claims false, noting that Trump himself disagrees with certain aspects of the blueprint.
The Trump campaign is prepared to counter Harris's attacks by attempting to link her to a far-left activist group, creating a narrative of equivalence between the two sides. The ongoing back-and-forth between the two camps has left a mark on public opinion, with the issue gaining traction in recent polls.
Despite the White House being pressed for clarification on Harris's continued references to Project 2025, they have deferred to the campaign for further explanation. The controversy surrounding the blueprint underscores the political tensions between the two parties as they gear up for future elections.
