Despite claiming to disavow Project 2025, the Trump campaign just announced it is sending Project 2025 authors Ben Carson and Peter Navarro across Pennsylvania as surrogates. 

Project 2025 is an extreme right-wing initiative that intends to provide policy and personnel to the next conservative administration. Its proposals include attacks on reproductive rights, education, and LGBTQ rights. 

USA Today noted in August that Project 2025 “calls for the Justice Department to ‘investigate and prosecute’ the top election official in Pennsylvania over the 2020 election as part of a dramatic overhaul of federal law enforcement.” 

Carson and Navarro, who are both right-wing commentators and former Trump administration officials, wrote sections for Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership blueprint. Trump has appeared at events with both Carson and Navarro in recent weeks. 

Trump and his campaign have numerous connections to Project 2025. A prior bus tour in Pennsylvania also featured Project 2025 contributors Monica Crowley and Carla Sands.
