Project 2025 aims to reduce bureaucratic power in Washington, referred to as the 'deep state,' which worries the left as it could shift power back to elected officials. While Trump distanced himself from the project, sparking disappointment and demoralization among Republican policymakers and average conservatives, many felt encouraged by the initiative to support a second Trump administration. Despite differing views, the project is seen as essential for conservative governance in the 21st century, transcending individual leaders. Even if Trump loses, there is potential for the project to be utilized in future administrations due to common goals such as border security, administrative state dismantling, economic revival, and rejecting the Green New Deal.
