Since Day One, the Trump administration has aggressively pursued policy actions that match the recommendations contained in Project 2025. We have been tracking the administration’s actions since February, and our Executive Action Tracker (jointly maintained by the Center for Progressive Reform and Governing for Impact) highlights the speed and effectiveness with which the... According to our latest analysis, the Trump administration managed to initiate or fulfill more than 47 percent of the Project 2025 domestic regulatory agenda before the current government shutdown. This represents a substantial increase in the administration’s progress since April, when we found that 28 percent of the agenda had been completed.

In all, 251 of the 532 recommended actions identified in the tracker have been fully or partially completed, with the vast majority of them being actions that directly match the letter of Project 2025. The image below shows these numbers, depicting actions that have been initiated or completed (both direct and indirect) and pending actions. To get a better sense of how these actions are distributed, we grouped them by agency (the 20 agencies within the executive branch explicitly called out in Project 2025) and divided them into direct,... Direct actions are those that were initiated or completed by the agency listed as the responsible in Project 2025, and indirect actions are those that achieve the same policy goal but that were implemented...

An online tracker that measures the extent to which Project 2025 has been implemented by the government has hit a 50 per cent milestone. According to a website created by two Reddit users, titled Project 2025 Tracker, the White House has implemented 50 per cent of the policies outlined in the conservative document.

The website does not provide the methodology it uses to track Project 2025. Project 2025 is a 900-page document of policy proposals spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation think tank. It advocates limited government, border security and tough immigration laws, among other conservative measures. Newsweek reached out to the White House and the Heritage Foundation by email to comment on this story outside of normal business hours. The extent to which Trump is influenced by Project 2025 has been a source of debate during the president's second term. This story was originally published by The 19th.

Project 2025 is rooted in injecting narrower interpretations of gender, sexuality and race in federal policy. It calls for ending nearly all of the U.S.

government’s efforts to achieve equity, including the collection of data that could be used to track such outcomes across the public and private sectors. It suggested eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. It also recommended removing out of every rule and regulation terms like sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender equity and gender awareness, along with abortion, reproductive health and reproductive rights. As a 2024 presidential candidate, Donald Trump repeatedly distanced himself from Project 2025, a plan by the conservative nonprofit the Heritage Foundation to overhaul the federal government, claiming he knew nothing about the initiative. Less than a year into his second presidential term, however, his presidential administration has embraced many of Project 2025's core ideas — advancing policies that align with its recommendations on immigration, education, fossil fuels... The Heritage Foundation formally revealed Project 2025 in 2022, framing it as a possible guide for a future Republican presidential administration.

The initiative centers on a roughly 1,000-page document that recommends giving the executive branch more power, reversing policies sponsored by former President Joe Biden and enacting numerous department-level changes. Below, we outline what Trump has said about Project 2025 over time, both as a presidential candidate and the country's commander in chief. He's gone from denying any involvement in the initiative to promoting his connection to one of its key authors in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform. No federal document, including executive orders, cite Project 2025, despite the fact that several Trump-sponsored measures align with the Heritage Foundation proposal. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 – a policy manual for “the next conservative President” that was produced by the Heritage Foundation and written by veterans of the... Trump claimed he knew “nothing about Project 2025” and had “no idea who is behind it,” despite evidence to the contrary, while Democrats portrayed the document as “Trump’s Project 2025.”

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ran an ad campaign tying Trump to Project 2025 and created the website TrumpsProject2025.com. At the Democratic National Convention, multiple speakers warned about the project’s proposals (not always accurately), including speakers who used an oversize copy of the book as a stage prop. Democrats focused on specific Project 2025 proposals – including some, such as closing the Department of Education, that Trump did support and has acted on since returning to office, and others, that he didn’t... Since taking office, Trump has been actively implementing or trying to implement many of Project 2025’s recommendations through directives, executive orders, his proposed fiscal year 2026 budget and major pieces of legislation, notably the...

Throughout the 2024 presidential election campaign, Donald Trump denied claims he intended to shape his second administration’s policies around Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a renewed conservative America. But despite his repeated denials, Trump 2.0 has adopted much of Project 2025 into the White House’s agenda. The Heritage Foundation, the right-wing Washington think tank which published Project 2025, has provided policy guidance for Republican presidents since the Reagan administration. Despite the foundation’s longevity, Project 2025 has met with opposition from many quarters.
