US Project 2025 aims for centralised policy control

Significance Initially intended as a think tank-led operation to assist recruitment during the transition process to a second Trump administration, Project 2025's many policy recommendations include a greater concentration of executive power within the White House through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Impacts Giving his sons and running mate leadership of the Trump transition team suggests personnel selections will be based primarily on loyalty. The Harris transition team will be led by Yohannes Abraham, who worked with Harris when leading the Biden transition team four years ago. Implementing the Project 2025 recommendations for OMB would significantly enhance White House power over the executive branch. A second Trump administration would build on recent Supreme Court moves to curb aspects of the administrative state.
