In recent months, the liberal elite and the Harris campaign have worked frantically to misrepresent Project 2025 of the Heritage Foundation as dictatorial, strange, and regressive.

This assault effort has been mainly successful in making the Project 2025 brand toxic before the election by erroneously linking it to a number of controversial measures, such as suspending democracy and outlawing no-fault divorce.

“They are aware that the American people desire things to get back to normal.”

Even President Trump has disavowed it, claiming that “some of the things they are saying are really ludicrous and awful.” Trump’s platform mirrors many of the project’s suggested policy proposals.

Recently, Heritage commissioned the polling firm Echelon Insights to survey thousands of voters in swing states about their opinions of a few of the real policy recommendations found in Project 2025.”

The polling data that Blaze News received is quite informative.

Contrary to common belief, many of Project 2025’s policy recommendations turn out to be neither extreme nor unpopular. Instead, the research indicates that they resonate with majorities in a number of states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

A Heritage representative told Blaze News, “This is why we conducted the survey.” “We were aware that the American people supported these initiatives.”

In 2022, hundreds of conservative organizations, experts on policy, and academics began formulating a strategy for the next president to “tear down the Deep State and restore the government to the people.”

As a result of this cooperative endeavor, known as Project 2025, conservatives developed a number of policy ideas that may support this endeavor.

Increasing the Department of Justice’s and FBI’s oversight; abolishing the Department of Education; allowing American energy production to run unhindered in order to drive down prices and stimulate the economy; removing partisan obstructionists from the federal bureaucracy who might try to stop the duly elected president from carrying out his mandate once more; securing the border and driving out illegal aliens; and forbidding men from playing women’s sports.

The book “Mandate for Leadership” contains a detailed implementation of these and many more policy ideas.

The policy book “truly is candidate-agnostic,” a Heritage spokeswoman stressed to Blaze News.

“We started the process prior to the primary, and we released the book in April 2023.” The representative said, “It’s actually a whole buffet of the conservative movement. The book has 400 contributors, and the network includes over 110 organizations.”

The spokesperson went on, “It’s a menu of things we hope the future president chooses.” When we performed this task for Trump in 2016, he selected several items. When we did this for Bush, we took less of them. We also did this for Reagan in 1981, a fact that many people may not be aware of.

“Conservatives should be optimistic that we can rescue our kids, recover our culture, rebuild our economy, and defeat the anti-American Left – at home and abroad,” Heritage President Kevin Roberts said in the book’s preface. We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it once again.”

Roberts emphasized that the ultimate goals ought to be to: “secure our God-given individual rights to live freely”; “dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people”; “restore the family as the center of American life and protect our children”; and “defend our nation’s borders and protect against global threats.”

The left is “terrified” by the support that Project 2025 could offer a future commander-in-chief. Roberts recently told Jill Savage, co-host of “Blaze News Tonight,” “Not only because of how cohesive it is, Jill, but for another very key reason: They know that the American people want a return to normal.”

“When they look at Project 2025, most people go to that website and realize, ‘Man, we agree with that,'” Roberts continued. “They want a return to common sense policies.”
