The letter further noted that the signers' earlier prophecies do not explain the subsequent January 6th protests or claims of the election being stolen.

The Blaze News previously reported that Project 2025 makes a number of policy recommendations that recent polls have shown to be popular with the American public, including increasing oversight of the Department of Justice and the FBI, unbinding U.S. energy production to lower prices and jump-start the economy, removing obstructive partisanship within the federal bureaucracy, securing the border and deporting illegal immigrants, and banning men from participating in women's sports.

“You need adults in the room,” Spangler said.
Olivia Troye, a former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, was among the signers. Troye recently
