Heritage president says Project 2025 and Trump campaign policy overlaps on “all of the priority issues”

KEVIN ROBERTS: Absolutely not. Obviously, if President Trump wins, which we're hoping that he does from a policy standpoint given his track record in his first term as president, then he's the boss. He gets to choose if he uses this plan, but this is a plan that has been updated every 4 years since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980. And what's great about this plan is that it covers every policy issue. It has involved over 110 conservative organizations, and it's been candidate agnostic because that's how we have to operate as a nonpartisan nonprofit.
We're unabashedly conservative in terms of our ideology and philosophy, as you know, but we're not beholden to any party or to any candidate. Literally, Tony, we have offered briefings on Project 2025 over the last 18 months to every major candidate for the presidency, on both sides of the aisle. And I think that to sum up here about the importance of this, what has driven the left crazy is that the political center right has never been this organized. We've never been this unified.
And if we look at President Trump's official Agenda 47, which is excellent, or the Republican party's platform, which at least in political terms, I think, is very effective and excellent. President Trump had a direct hand in that. Or if you look at the priorities of Project 2025, the overlap on that Venn diagram are all of the priority issues that the American people care about. We're totally over the target on the center right in the United States, and I think that's what's got the left running scared.
