The overlap includes early steps taken by Trump to execute some of his most-touted pledges: cracking down on illegal immigration; dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; and rolling back environmental restrictions on oil and gas exploration.
Said Paul Dans, who oversaw Project 2025: “This is exactly the work we set out to do.”
