The director of the 'Project 2025' plan for a Donald Trump presidency steps down after Democrats made attacking it central to their election campaign and Trump repeatedly distanced himself from it.
The man who led Project 2025 — a controversial plan for Donald Trump 's second term in office — is standing down.
Kamala Harris and, before her, Joe Biden had been frequently targeting Project 2025 on the campaign trail, highlighting its more radical proposals to expand presidential power and reshape government. But the Trump campaign said it had "been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign, and should not be associated with the campaign or the president in any way".
But an anonymous former Heritage Foundation aide said it was almost certain the Trump campaign had forced the shake-up. He has vowed to revive a 2020 executive order to reclassify public servants working in policy roles as "Schedule F" employees, effectively turning them into political appointments. Trump's march to re-take the White House defiantly continues. If he wins he'll have an "army" of 10,000 recruits at his disposal to help implement his controversial agenda."Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them," he wrote on social media.later found at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had contributed to Project 2025, including at least six of his former cabinet secretaries.
