‘This victory is a mandate’: rightwing groups ready with policy proposals for new Trump administration

Project 2025 and other far-right groups have outlined a blueprint for Trump's second term

As Donald Trump prepares to move back into the White House, he'll have a host of rightwing groups trying to influence his staffing choices and policy proposals, including the group behind Project 2025, despite Trump's insistence they won't be involved.

Democrats repeatedly ran attacks on Trump over Project 2025, the conservative manifesto that its writers want to guide a second Trump administration. Trump tried to distance himself from it and from the group behind it, the Heritage Foundation, one of DC's biggest thinktanks.
