The Trump campaign is fighting back against what appears to be a coordinated attack from the White House, Biden’s campaign and Democrats on the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 policies, calling it “obstruction” in the wake of Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
“Agenda 47 and President Trump’s Republican National Committee platform are the only policies President Trump supports for a second term,” Trump campaign spokesman Daniel Alvarez told Fox News Digital.
“The Biden campaign and the DNC are lying and fear-mongering because they have nothing else to offer the American people. Let’s not forget that this is the same group that has been lying to the American people for years and hiding Joe Biden’s declining cognitive abilities.”
It was laid out as a blueprint for how a future Republican administration could restructure much of the U.S. government. Project 2025The project, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, will begin in April 2023 and is not directly related to the Trump campaign.

“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and a unique opportunity for conservatives to undo the damage the left has done and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” said Project 2025’s The website has“It’s not enough for Conservatives to win the election. Saving the country from the rule of the radical left requires both a governing plan and the right people ready to implement its policies from day one of the next Conservative government.”
“That is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, which will be built on four pillars that will pave the way for a holistically effective Conservative administration: policy agenda, personnel, training and a 180-day playbook.”
Project 2025 includes several former senior Trump administration officials, including the project’s director, Paul Danz, who served as chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management under the Trump administration; Russ Vought, who wrote one of the project’s chapters and served as director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Trump administration; and John McEntee, a senior adviser to the project who served as director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel under the Trump administration.
Democrats have relentlessly attacked Trump’s allegations of ties to the project in the days after Biden’s disastrous debate, accusing him of seeking radical changes to government staffing, abortion, taxes, drug prices and other issues despite his denials. The Biden campaign’s X account alone has posted about Project 2025 more than 100 times since the debate on June 27, including videos of Democrats and media figures attacking the project.

President Biden’s personal account, X, has posted on the subject multiple times in the past week, including in a video post on Wednesday in which Biden said “Project 2025 will destroy America” and directed his social media followers to visit a section of his campaign website to read about Project 2025. In another post, he called the policy “extreme and dangerous.”
“We don’t need a Republican agenda because Trump has detailed 1,000 pages of radical policies in Project 2025,” the Biden campaign posted two days after the debate.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called Project 2025 a “creepy document written by some of President Trump’s closest advisers.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York criticized House Republicans, saying they were “determined to hide their extreme agenda” and “want to eliminate reproductive freedom and impose Project 2025 on the American people.”
“Project 2025 was written for Donald Trump by the people who know him best – the same extremists who write the Republican National Committee’s policy platforms, lead Trump’s debate preparations, and frequently bragging about their ties to Team Trump. Oh, and Trump’s own super PAC has also run ads promoting Project 2025,” Biden-Harris 2024 rapid response director Amar Moosa said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Trump’s Supreme Court and Project 2025 plan to have Trump operate as a dictator from day one in office, wielding unlimited power to eliminate freedoms, increase the burden on working families and make billionaires even wealthier. This November, voters must stop Trump from turning the Oval Office into his own throne room.”
The campaign has previously pointed the finger at the Heritage Foundation. Said in 2018 The Trump administration “adopted nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from the Heritage Foundation’s ‘Commitment to Leadership.'”
The Project 2025 website states:The Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “mandate.” The Heritage Minister has adopted almost two-thirds of the policy guidance in just his first year in office.

In addition, the Biden campaign Internet Analysis Interest in the project has skyrocketed in recent weeks. Running through the past Search trends taylor swift.
“As we have said for over two years, Project 2025 does not represent any particular candidate or campaign,” Project 2025 told Fox News Digital in a statement. “We are a coalition of over 110 conservative organizations making policy and personnel recommendations to the next conservative president. However, it will ultimately be up to the president, likely to be Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”
“Instead of obsessing over Project 2025, the Biden team should address the 25th Amendment.”
in Long X threadProject 2025 outlined the various attacks on the agenda and ranked the criticisms as either “true” or “false.”
Trump denied the effort in a post on Truth Social, saying he didn’t know who was behind the effort, which offers recommendations for how a future Republican president should begin implementing conservative reforms once in office.
“I don’t know anything about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.” Trump wrote. “I don’t agree with some of the things they say and some of the things they say are just completely ridiculous and awful. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they do, but I have nothing to do with them.”
Meanwhile, Fox News Digital previously reported that the Biden administration has been working behind the scenes with Governing for Impact, a shadowy group that receives millions of dollars in funding from liberal billionaire George Soros, to shape administration policy. According to a Harvard ad, the group was created to prepare the Biden administration for “transformative governance,” and has produced “more than 60 detailed, actionable regulatory recommendations” for dozens of federal agencies.

The Biden administration has also worked closely with the Center for American Progress (CAP), a leading progressive think tank that has a strong influence on federal policymaking, with many of its former staff members serving in senior positions. Two of CAP’s most notable hires are CAP founder John Podesta, who has been heavily investigated for ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and former CAP president Neera Tanden, whose nomination was derailed in 2021 after several controversial posts were discovered and hundreds were deleted. Tanden currently serves as a domestic policy adviser to President Biden.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, several people on the White House visitor’s roster have advocated for other extreme positions, including defunding the police, critical race theory, diversity, equity and inclusion, praising anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, abolishing bail and adding seats to the Supreme Court.
Recent reports revealed that the president of the National Education Association, who has vowed to “oppose” education vouchers and want to transform public schools into a racially “fair system,” has visited President Biden’s White House 24 times.
