Project 2025 Is Still a Threat

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump needs people like Vought, who served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget -- a key role that allowed him significant control over the former president's regulatory agenda.
42% : Trump can try to distance himself from Project 2025 in public all he likes, but the people behind it have every reason to believe they can sway him in the future.
42% : It's more than a way to scare liberals into voting; it's a way for the Democratic ticket to set up a sharp contrast between their vision and Trump's.
40% : Trump will have to staff his administration somehow, and conservatives have carefully built an infrastructure in Washington, D.C., that will help a second Trump White House take shape.
39% : "Sources told CNN that Trump and Vought have spoken on various occasions since the ex-president left office and that Trump "has adopted some of Vought's ideas."
32% : According to CNN, Vought recently dismissed Trump's public disavowals as "graduate-level politics" and said that Trump had "blessed" his organization, the Center for Renewing America.
30% : If CNN is right, and Trump has taken up some of Vought's ideas, it's not hard to see why.
28% : Trump certainly doesn't want anyone to think he's a puppet, but he's not a policy mastermind, either.
