Former President Donald Trump once again addressed the proposed transition policies in the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” saying in a social media post on Wednesday night that Democrats are trying to deceptively “hook” him with those proposals.
Democrats, including President Joe Biden and his campaign, have focused on drawing attention to “Project 2025” and attempting to use it to paint Trump and Republicans as extremists. Trump, however, has distanced himself from the project multiple times in the past week.
“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican Platform, had nothing to do with it,” Trump wrote on Wednesday. “The Radical Left Democrats are having a field day, however, trying to hook me into whatever policies are stated or said. It is pure disinformation on their part. By now, after all of these years, everyone knows where I stand on EVERYTHING! DJT.”
Biden has repeatedly condemned Project 2025 as a campaign strategy against Trump.
“Project 2025 will destroy America. Look it up,” Biden said in a five-second video clip posted to X on Wednesday.

“Google Project 2025,” Biden wrote on Tuesday.
Biden’s team also published a fact sheet on Project 2025, claiming that it “is the plan by Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican allies to give Trump more power over your daily life, gut democratic checks and balances, and consolidate power in the Oval Office if he wins.”
Other Democrats have also focused on Project 2025 recently, including Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who was blasted by Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on Wednesday after bringing up the proposed policies during a Judiciary Committee hearing that featured Shapiro’s testimony on an alleged conspiracy to silence conservative media outlets.
“I think it is important that you’re here as one of the leading conservative voices in the country,” Swalwell said. “And the country in the last couple of weeks has talked about, googled Project 2025 … and you’re not going to get any censorship from me, so I just wanted to know from your perspective, I think it would help us understand, on just like a scale of 0-100 percent, how much do you support Project 2025?”
“I think like President Trump, I haven’t looked all that deeply at Project 2025,” Shapiro replied. “But it seems that Democrats on this committee [think that] — sort of like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell — if they say Project 2025 enough, their presidential candidate becomes alive again.”
The draft of the 2024 GOP platform touted by Trump was released earlier this week. It focuses on securing the border, deporting illegal immigrants, and ending inflation, among other priorities. Hardline conservatives have voiced frustration with the new platform’s watered-down stances on abortion and same-sex marriage.
The 2024 GOP platform doesn’t commit to pursuing any federal laws on abortion, instead saying the issue is best addressed by the states. In a change from its 2016 platform, the new GOP platform also does not address same-sex marriage but does weigh in on gender issues, such as protecting women’s sports and opposing “left-wing gender insanity.” Republicans did not update the party platform in 2020.
