During Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris seized the opportunity to tie former President Donald Trump to the controversial policy initiative known as Project 2025. The debate, a critical moment in the run-up to the election, saw Harris leveraging the document’s contents to challenge Trump’s candidacy, while Trump vehemently denied any association with the project.
In a pointed exchange, Harris criticized Trump’s policies by linking him to Project 2025. “You’re going to hear from the same old tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances and name-calling,” Harris stated. “What you’re going to hear is a dangerous and detailed playbook called Project 2025.” This direct accusation aimed to highlight what Harris and many Democrats view as a troubling aspect of Trump’s political platform.

Trump responded robustly to Harris’s remarks, dismissing the connection to Project 2025. “As you know, and as she knows, I have nothing to do with Project 2025. That’s out there, I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it, purposely. I’m not going to read it,” Trump asserted. His response sought to distance himself from the initiative, which has become a point of contention in the ongoing political discourse.
Project 2025, released by the Heritage Foundation, outlines a comprehensive policy agenda for a potential Republican administration. The document covers various issues, including abortion, immigration, climate policy, tax regulations, and government oversight. It has been a focal point for Democrats aiming to scrutinize Republican candidates and their policy positions.
Despite Harris’s attempts to link him to the project, Trump has been adamant about his lack of involvement. He has repeatedly used social media to disassociate himself from the project, stating that he does not know the individuals behind it and that their ideas do not represent his views. “I don’t know those behind the effort and they do not speak for me,” Trump has insisted in several posts.
A CNN report has revealed that at least 140 former members of the Trump administration were involved in Project 2025 to varying degrees. This connection has fueled Democratic criticism and added complexity to Trump’s efforts to distance himself from the initiative.
