Democrats are sounding the alarm about a second Donald Trump administration, and they’re announcing a new task force Tuesday to combat one particular proposal that has grabbed their attention: Project 2025.
An initiative spearheaded by the Trump-aligned think tank The Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a blueprint for another Trump presidency, complete with a database for staffing a new White House and chock-full of conservative policy priorities like overhauling the Justice Department and curtailing abortion access. Although Trump’s campaign has tried to distance the former president from Project 2025, key allies like former adviser Stephen Miller are deeply enmeshed in the initiative.
Which is why Democrats announced the task force — the “central hub,” in their words — for “examining, highlighting, preempting and counteracting this right-wing plot to undermine democracy.”
