What comes next for America according to Donald Trump.

Project 2025 provides a roadmap for "the next conservative President" to fundamentally change how the federal government works. Former President Donald Trump has claimed he knows nothing about it. Democrats call it "Trump's Project 2025 agenda." Here, we take a look at the plan: what's in it, who wrote it and what the candidates have said about it.
