Deep dives
Project 2025 Involvement of Former Trump Officials and Cabinet Secretaries
Dozens of former Trump officials and six cabinet secretaries are actively involved in crafting Project 2025, a blueprint for a potential second Trump administration. Not only does this plan reflect elements from the previous administration, but it also highlights the close ties between Project 2025's creators and Trump's inner circle, suggesting a continuation of past policies.
Impact of Project 2025 on Women and LGBTQ Rights
Project 2025 proposes significant changes affecting women and LGBTQ individuals, focusing on areas like the US Department of Health and Human Services, renamed as the Department of Life. The plan aims to redefine concepts of gender and family structure, potentially erasing existing rights and data collection on these marginalized groups, signaling a substantial shift if implemented.
Project 2025's Culture War Agenda and Trump's Political Strategy
Beyond bureaucratic changes, Project 2025 outlines a culture war agenda that targets LGBTQ and abortion rights, designed to reshape policies and restrict freedoms, aligning with extreme views. While Trump attempts to distance himself from this plan, his previous actions and praise for its creators indicate a deeper involvement in advancing this divisive agenda, posing political challenges and public scrutiny.
In recent days, Donald Trump has angrily claimed he knows nothing about Project 2025, the blueprint his allies are drawing up for an authoritarian second term presidency. But CNN is now reporting that at least 140 people from the Trump administration have a hand in the Project 2025 plan. And NBC News has unearthed video showing that Trump expressly praised the plan’s creators for their work in 2022. We talked to Amanda Becker—a reporter for The 19th News and author of a forthcoming piece on Project 2025’s minutiae—who explains why Trump keeps running from Project 2025 and what its darker designs really have in store for us.
