FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 11, 2024 / Biden/Harris Talking Points - Trump’s Project 2025 Makes Headlines in the Battlegrounds
Voters across the battlegrounds sounded the alarm this week on Trump’s Project 2025, a dangerous agenda for Donald Trump and his MAGA loyalists that would roll back Americans’ rights and freedoms, hurt the middle class, and threaten our democracy by giving Trump power like no president has ever had over our daily lives.
Trump’s Project 2025 agenda would ban abortion nationwide, raise taxes for the middle class, cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age, and gut democratic checks and balances to give Trump virtually unchecked power to exact revenge on his enemies.
And it isn’t just deeply harmful. Trump’s agenda is also deeply unpopular. According to new polling out Tuesday, two in three Americans believe Project 2025 would have a negative impact on the LGBTQ+ community, women, and seniors.

As former President Donald Trump distances himself from a conservative group’s blueprint for a future Republican governing agenda, he will have at least one unavoidable connection to it: the Republican National Convention.
The Heritage Foundation, the D.C.-based think tank that produced Project 2025 — a series of policy plans to overhaul the federal government — is among the sponsors of the convention in Milwaukee next week.
The group is touted as a convention partner on the RNC host committee’s website. And Heritage plans to hold a day-long “policy fest” in downtown Milwaukee on Monday, the opening day of a convention in which Trump will officially receive the Republican nomination for president.
