Biden Campaign targets Trump over Project 2025, labels it as plan to “gut democratic checks and balances”

The Biden campaign’s newly unveiled website critiques Project 2025, associating it directly with Trump. It claims the plan would “gut democratic checks and balances, and consolidate power in the Oval Office.”

The campaign argues that although Project 2025 is not Trump’s official platform—his campaign refers instead to Agenda47, which emphasizes reducing immigration and promoting economic growth—it still raises alarm among Democrats about the potential implications of a second term for Trump.

“Project 2025 is the plan by Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican allies to give Trump more power over your daily life, gut democratic checks and balances, and consolidate power in the Oval Office if he wins. Trump’s campaign advisors and close allies wrote it – and are doing everything they can to elect him so he can execute their playbook immediately,” the Campaign website says.

According to a report by The New York Times, back in 2016, conservative policy organizations were largely unprepared for Trump’s unexpected victory. Learning from that experience, these groups began preparing Project 2025 in 2022. The result is a 920-page document that proposes a radical transformation of the executive branch.

Project 2025 outlines four main objectives: restoring the family as a cornerstone of American life, dismantling the administrative state, defending national sovereignty and borders, and securing individual rights to live freely as granted by God.

Additionally, it controversially proposes placing all federal bureaucracy under direct presidential control and increasing funding for the US-Mexico border wall, a key element of Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The Biden campaign’s website urges Americans to review the full 920-page Project 2025 report themselves, suggesting that the transparency of the document allows for a clear understanding of the intended governmental overhaul.
