Trump Campaign's Rejection of Project 2025 Sparks Conservative Dissent

Trump's distancing from the Heritage Foundation-led policy blueprint raises concerns among conservative supporters about potential impacts on his base.

Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation initiative, aims to guide the next conservative administration with a 900-page policy blueprint.
Trump's campaign has publicly criticized the project, calling it a 'pain in the a--' and distancing itself from its recommendations.
Conservative commentators and former Trump officials express worries that the disavowal could alienate loyal supporters and fuel Democratic attacks.
Despite the public rejection, some believe Trump may still use elements of Project 2025 if re-elected.
The controversy highlights a broader power struggle over control of personnel and policy direction in a potential second Trump administration.
