Contributing sentiments towards policy:
42% : Trump so far has named Tom Homan, formerly his acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, as his "border czar."40% : (Two days earlier, Rubio had announced his own presidential run, which he would later end in March 2016 after Trump beat him in the Florida Republican primary.)
34% : Trump, on his own, published a less specific agenda during his 2024 presidential campaign.
30% : But he described Project 2025 as a think tank's work, not as something speaking for Trump.
24% : Project 2025 calls for extensive overhauls in the executive branch and draws on long-held conservative principles, such as tax cuts that Trump has agreed with or may agree with.
19% : Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats similarly tried to make Project 2025 a major campaign issue and tried to tie it to Trump.
18% : Trump sought to distance himself from Project 2025 during the campaign, calling some parts of the plan "ridiculous."
10% : There may be some overlap between Project 2025 and the policies Trump will seek to enact, but the claim that this 2015 video shows Rubio "admitting" that Trump will lean heavily on the plan is False.
7% : Trump has publicly disagreed with parts of Project 2025, calling some of it "ridiculous."After news reports that President-elect Donald Trump was likely to pick U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as his secretary of state, one social media user shared a video of Rubio speaking at the Heritage Foundation.
