  • Alternatively disavowed and embraced by President Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, Project 2025 is a collection of conservative policy proposals - many written by veterans of his first administration. It echoes similar projects, both liberal and conservative, setting out a bold agenda for a new administration.

The article from the Stamford Advocate discusses "Project 2025," a comprehensive policy agenda by the Heritage Foundation aimed at reshaping the U.S. government should Donald Trump or a similar conservative leader win the 2024 presidential election. This initiative, which has been in development for over two years, seeks to implement conservative policies across various sectors including immigration, education, and the environment. Key points include a drastic reduction in the size of the federal workforce, replacing many career bureaucrats with conservative appointees, and reversing policies related to climate change, diversity, and inclusion. The project also proposes to dismantle the Department of Education, eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and significantly alter immigration policies to favor deportation and stricter border control. Critics argue that this agenda represents a radical shift towards authoritarian governance, potentially undermining democratic institutions and checks and balances, while supporters see it as a necessary correction to what they perceive as government overreach and liberal bias.
