Former President Donald Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a proposed overhaul of the federal government developed by his allies and former officials in his administration. The 922-page plan includes a significant expansion of presidential power and the replacement of up to 50,000 government workers with Trump loyalists.

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign has been drawing attention to Project 2025, aiming to highlight its extreme agenda. Biden has criticized Trump for trying to conceal his ties to the project, which was crafted by individuals close to him.

Trump has outlined his own plans for a potential second term, including a massive deportation operation and imposing tariffs on imports. His campaign has cautioned outside allies against speaking on his behalf and has distanced itself from transition-in-waiting efforts.

Project 2025 involves former senior administration officials, with individuals like Paul Dans and John McEntee playing key roles. The project's team plans to collaborate with the Trump campaign after the summer to announce a transition team.

The Biden campaign has criticized Project 2025 as an extreme policy and personnel playbook for Trump's potential second term, raising concerns about its implications for the American people.
