Former President Donald Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a conservative initiative run by the Heritage Foundation that outlines a roadmap for his potential second term. Trump has publicly disavowed the plan, stating he knows nothing about it or the people behind it, despite many involved being close to his previous administration. This move comes amid various polls showing Trump leading against Kamala Harris and Joe Biden in the 2024 General Election. According to J.L. Partners, Trump has 49% (+11) against Harris and 47% (+5) against Biden in polling conducted from July 1-3. Trump's campaign has emphasized that Project 2025 does not represent their views and urged the Republican National Committee to streamline their platform.
