evidence: Project 2025, a 900-page conservative policy agenda that proposes eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, has become a dominating force in the 2024 election campaign as President Joe Biden and Democrats use it to make their case against former President Donald Trump. Biden’s team has referred to Project 2025 as a "manifesto infused with MAGA ideology" that "should scare every single American" and has mentioned it in dozens of recent news releases. Its creators frame it as an effort to bring "self-government to the American people," according to the Washington Post. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign recently has tried to distance itself from the initiative. [...] Trump, who is the presumed nominee for the Republican party, has said that Project 2025 does not reflect his policy agenda and has tried to distance himself from the proposal in recent weeks. In a post on his Truth Social platform on July 5, Trump said he has "no idea who is behind it."
