Project 2025 is a policy document from a Washington think-tank. Democrats said they were stunned that it has broken through the election-year noise to become a major issue.
Project 2025 offers a long list of policy recommendations intended to guide the next conservative in the White House. Among the proposals raising eyebrows are provisions to crack down on abortion access nationwide.

Project 2025 is a plan to purge the president’s critics from federal agencies in a campaign reminiscent of that proposed in Project 2025. Many of the contributors to Project 2025 worked in Trump’S first administration, and some of those figures are expected to join a second if he wins.
