Project 2025: rightwing manifesto’s key proposals and how they could affect you

Blueprint outlines extreme, conservative policies for a potential second Trump term and beyond

You've probably heard of Project 2025 - either from Democrats such as the vice-president, Kamala Harris, warning of what it could mean for US government, or from Republicans such as former president Donald Trump claiming they have nothing to do with it.

The project is an effort by the Heritage Foundation, a prominent rightwing thinktank, to dismantle features of the government it believes conflict with conservative ideology and to install extreme, conservative policies in a potential second Trump term and beyond.
