Democrats Look to Connect Project 2025 to House Republicans With New ‘Microsites’

“Despite their best efforts to distance themselves from Project 2025, House Republicans can’t hide from their own records; we’re putting them on notice, and we have more to come,” House Accountability War Room spokesperson Danny Turkel told NOTUS.

Project 2025 has become a constant political problem for Donald Trump. Now, a liberal group is hoping it can spread some of that political problem to House Republicans.

Four websites are launching Thursday linking the voting records of four Republican congressmen to policies found in The Heritage Foundation’s infamous project, targeting leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana, as well as vulnerable Republican Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska and David Schweikert of Arizona.

Published by the House Accountability War Room, a liberal group affiliated with Courage for America, the microsites angle for a congressional foothold in the Democrats’ effort to use Project 2025 to sink the GOP in November.
