Former President Trump has publicly distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, dismissing any association with it despite the project's close ties with many Trump allies. His disavowal followed controversial remarks by the Heritage Foundation president on Steve Bannon's show, which Democrats criticized heavily. Trump emphasized on Truth Social that he is uninvolved and critical of the project's proposals. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign is using this controversy to highlight the risks of a second Trump presidency. Trump remains focused on implementing his own policy agenda, Agenda47, separate from Project 2025.
