What is Project 2025 and does Trump support it?

The official Republican platform, released this week, omits a national abortion ban as an ambition for the first time in four decades.

Project 2025 also calls for caps on Medicare claims to discourage “permanent dependence” on the health insurance program among people over 65.

Trump was forced to furiously step down earlier this year when he appeared to consider cuts to Medicare. The recently released Republican platform pledged to maintain current spending levels, softening another long-standing position.

Kevin Roberts, the foundation’s chairman, had said he believed the document would help transform American politics.

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will be without bloodshed – if the left allows it,” he said.

A total of 31 authors and editors of Project 2025 were Trump administration officials, according to the Biden campaign.

Its director is Paul Dans, who served in the Office of Personnel Management during Trump’s term in the White House. The document was co-edited by Steven Groves, who served in the administration for three years, while Spencer Chretien, the former special assistant to the president, is deputy director of the project.

One chapter was written by Russ Vought, Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget. Earlier this year, Trump appointed Mr. Vought as policy director to shape the Republican Party platform ahead of the national convention.

Ed Martin, the platform’s deputy policy director, heads a conservative pressure group that is included on Project 2025’s advisory board.

Longtime Trump adviser Stephen Miller is the president of America First Legal, which is also advising the project, and appears in a video promoting the “presidential transition academy.”

Ben Carson, Trump’s former Housing Secretary; Peter Navarro, the former White House trade adviser; and Mark Meadows, Trump’s last chief of staff, are all involved in the project.
