'Extremely worried': Trump camp pushes to disavow Project 2025 in flyer circulating in PA
During the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, a variety of speakers attacked Donald Trump over Project 2025 — the Heritage Foundation's 900-plus-page blueprint for a second Trump administration.
Trump has been making a concerted effort to distance himself from Project 2025, but many DNC speakers pointed out that Project 2025 was designed by Trump's close allies.
In Pennsylvania — a key swing state that both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris regard as crucial — a flyer shows how badly Trump is trying to avoid being linked to Project 2025.

The flyer lists nine Trump campaign proposals, ranging from "eliminate taxes on Social Security for seniors" to "rebuild out cities" to "keep violent criminals off the streets."
And the flyer, in all caps, reads, "STRAIGHT FROM TRUMP'S PLATFORM... NOT PROJECT 2025, WHICH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE AND DOES NOT SUPPORT."
A Pennsylvania voter who is supporting Harris posted the flyer on X, writing: "For some reason Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania sent me this. As shown here on this flyer, Donald Trump is extremely worried that people are finding out that he is planning on enforcing #Project2025. We need to keep telling voters that Trump IS #Project2025 because it’s working."
The conservative National Review's Jeff Blehar tweeted the flyer as well and wrote, "Congratulations to all who worked so hard for this moment: Donald Trump is finally giving Project 2025 its proper due in his campaign mailers.
Pennsylvania voter Tom Johnson, on X, reported seeing the flyer. Johnson tweeted, "Got the same flyer in the Philly area. Had to laugh."
