The Project 2025 document does not show that Trump intends to cut Social Security; the document barely discusses Social Security at all and does not propose cuts to the program.
Contrary to Harris' suggestion, Project 2025 does not call to 'end' the Affordable Care Act or eliminate its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
Project 2025 is a project led by the Heritage Foundation, which brought together more than 100 conservative organizations to detail a policy agenda that it published in a book early last year called "Mandate for Leadership." This is a guide that Heritage has been publishing every four years since 1980.
Trump himself has repeatedly made it clear that his campaign wasn't involved in Project 2025 and has lately started calling some of its ideas "Extremist." Which is an unfortunate sop on his part to the left's coordinated campaign to demonize the policy document.
Last week, the Harris team admitted that it's been lying about Project 2025.
A campaign official told CNN that Harris "Made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump's policies" as "Project 2025," since they believe "It has stuck with voters." . In other words, lying is fine, so long as it's for the "Greater good" of defeating Trump.
After Project 2025's director stepped down and the Trump campaign cheering that on, the Harris campaign said "Project 2025 is on the ballot because Donald Trump is on the ballot. This is his agenda, written by his allies, for Donald Trump to inflict on our country." And then it repeated the lie about how it includes "Cuts to Social Security and Medicare, repeal of the Affordable Care Act, dirtier air and water, and empowering Trump to destroy American democracy."
