Donald Trump has begun nominating officials for his administration—more specifically, his cabinet and various senior positions. Many of his picks are advisors and contributors to ‘Project 2025,’ an unpopular doctrinal policy playbook which Trump had previously shunned and distanced himself from during his campaign.
Campaign officials stated that they would not allow people involved in Project 2025 to take positions in Trump’s administration, if he was elected.
However, this has proved to be untrue, as one of the project’s top contributors, Russ Vought, has been nominated to lead the OMB, or the Office of Management and Budget.
Project 2025, created by the Heritage Foundation, is a conservative think tank prepared for the Republican presidency. It offers recommendations to restructure federal agencies, streamline government, and implement conservative principles.
Some examples include immigration, education and economic reforms. Project 2025 aims to unify the conservative movement under a set of rules and policies.
Stephen Miller, Karoline Leavitt, Brendan Carr, and Tom Homman are all contributors to the project, and they have been chosen or are expected to take up important executive positions in the new upcoming administration.
According to the New York Times, at least half of the contributors to the Project 2025 playbook also worked in Trump’s administration, campaign, or transition team.
