当选总统唐纳德·特朗普与2025项目但从那以后提名若干作者或撰稿人从有争议的保守派总统候选人名单到他的政府。
特朗普在7月20日的一次集会上称该项目2025政策提案为“极端、严重极端”，其中包括对堕胎药丸、避孕药和医疗保险的限制，以及取消几个联邦机构。
“我对此一无所知。我不想知道任何关于它的事情，”他之前说，尽管他和它的作者和投稿人有很多联系。
民主党人在选举季节抨击特朗普的2025项目，称这是对特朗普第二个任期的警告。
“2025项目是唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的MAGA共和党盟友的计划，旨在让特朗普在你的日常生活中拥有更多权力，摧毁民主党的制衡，并在他获胜的情况下巩固椭圆形办公室的权力，”拜登竞选团队表示。
“2025项目”是一份超过900页的政策建议剧本，由保守派智库传统基金会创作，旨在指导下一届保守党政府。该文件背后的组织在过去的一份声明中告诉ABC新闻，它无意在选举期间为任何候选人说话。
2025项目和特朗普的议程47有相似之处——包括取消教育部、增加化石燃料能源生产和开始大规模驱逐出境的提议。
在美国广播公司与副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的辩论中，川普重申了他早些时候对该项目的看法。“这是一群人聚在一起，他们提出了一些想法，我猜有些好，有些坏，但这没有什么区别。我与此事无关。”
现在,《2025项目》的几位作者和撰稿人不仅与特朗普有联系，还被提名在他的政府中担任角色。
让我们来看看哪些项目2025的贡献者可能在即将上任的特朗普政府中占有一席之地:
拉斯·沃特
拉斯·沃特(Russ Vought)被称为2025项目(Project 2025)的“领导力使命:保守承诺”(mission for Leadership:The Conservative Promise)的“总统行政办公室”(Executive Office of the President)一章的作者，他已被提名为管理和预算办公室(Office of Management and Budget)主任。他也是RNC平台委员会的政策主管。
在特朗普的第一个任期内，沃特领导了管理和预算办公室，该部门旨在监督总统在整个行政部门的愿景，从预算到管理某些机构。
他可以在撰写了《2025年计划》(Project 2025)的整整一章后重返白宫，在这一章中，他认为不受白宫控制的联邦监管机构应该拥有更少的自主权:“今天的总统上任后会发现一个庞大的联邦官僚机构，它经常在执行自己的政策计划和偏好——或者更糟糕的是，执行一个激进的、被认为是‘觉醒’的国家派系的政策计划和偏好，”这一章写道。
在这一章中，他概述了他的办公室可以通过利用现有工具对联邦支出施加压力，以及与国会合作通过政策和改革来遏制他所谓的“行政国家”来帮助巩固行政权力的方法。
在11月接受“塔克·卡尔森秀”采访时，沃特声称他在第一个任期内帮助当选总统行使行政权力:“总统想为隔离墙提供资金。我们在OMB给他一个计划，能够通过国防部的资金来资助隔离墙，并使用这笔资金，因为国会不会给他国土安全部的普通资金。”
皮特·霍克斯特拉
皮特·霍克斯特拉被列为“2025项目”的贡献者，他被选为驻加拿大大使。
最近，霍克斯特拉担任密歇根州共和党主席。他曾在特朗普的第一个任期内担任美国驻荷兰大使。
斯蒂芬·米勒
特朗普的前助手斯蒂芬·米勒(Stephen Miller)领导了一个利益集团，为2025项目提供政策建议。特朗普任命米勒为他第二任期的副总参谋长。
米勒在7月份告诉ABC新闻，他“零参与”2025项目，只是为学生制作一个建议视频。
米勒创建的美国第一法律公司曾被列为该项目的顾问委员会成员。
布兰登·卡尔
特朗普提名的联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔(Brendan Carr)被认为是“2025项目”FCC建议的作者，这些建议包括:禁止抖音、限制社交媒体适度等等。
卡尔将负责监管广播、电信和宽带。特朗普建议他会扩张白宫对联邦通信委员会的影响，并可能惩罚以他不喜欢的方式报道他的电视网。
卡尔是该委员会的长期成员，此前曾担任FCC的总法律顾问和FCC的资深共和党人。他已经三次获得参议院的一致确认，并由特朗普和乔·拜登总统提名加入该委员会。

How Trump has infused parts of Project 2025 into his administration
President-elect Donald Trump distanced himself fromProject 2025on the campaign trail but has sincenominated several authors or contributorsfrom the controversial conservative presidential wish list to his administration.
Trump called the Project 2025 policy proposals -- which include restrictions on abortion pills, birth control pills and Medicare access, as well as eliminating a couple of federal agencies -- "extreme, seriously extreme" in a July 20 rally.
"I don't know anything about it. I don't want to know anything about it," he previously said, despite having many connections to its authors and contributors.
Democrats pounced on Trump for Project 2025 during the election season, calling it a warning of what is to come under a second Trump term.
"Project 2025 is the plan by Donald Trump's MAGA Republican allies to give Trump more power over your daily life, gut democratic checks and balances, and consolidate power in the Oval Office if he wins," the Biden campaign stated.
Project 2025 is an over 900-page playbook of policy proposals created by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation intended to guide the next conservative administration. The organization behind the document told ABC News in a past statement that it was not intended to speak for any candidate during the election.
Project 2025 and Trump's Agenda47 share similarities -- including proposals to eliminate the Department of Education, increase fossil fuel energy production, and begin mass deportations.
At the ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump reiterated his earlier sentiment on the project. "This was a group of people that got together, they came up with some ideas, I guess some good, some bad, but it makes no difference. I have nothing to do [with it]."
Now, several Project 2025 authors and contributors are not just connected to Trump, but also nominated for roles in his administration.
Here's a look at which Project 2025 contributors may have a place in the incoming Trump administration:
Russ Vought
Russ Vought, who is cited as authoring a chapter on "Executive Office of the President" for Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," has been nominated to head the Office of Management and Budget. He was also the RNC platform committee's policy director.
During Trump's first term, Vought led the Office of Management and Budget, a department meant to oversee the president’s vision across the executive branch for everything from budgeting to managing certain agencies.
He could return to the post after authoring an entire chapter of Project 2025, where he argues federal regulatory agencies that aren’t under the control of the White House should have less autonomy: “A President today assumes office to find a sprawling federal bureaucracy that all too often is carrying out its own policy plans and preferences — or, worse yet, the policy plans and preferences of a radical, supposedly 'woke' faction of the country," the chapter read.
In the chapter, he outlined ways his office could help consolidate executive power by using existing tools to impose a crackdown on federal spending and work with Congress to pass policy and reforms that would rein in what he calls the “administrative state.”
In a November interview on the "Tucker Carlson Show," Vought claimed he helped the president-elect to exert executive power during his first term: “The president wanted to fund the wall. We at OMB gave him a plan to be able to go and fund the wall through money that was Department of Defense and to use that because Congress wouldn’t give him the ordinary money at the Department of Homeland Security.”
Pete Hoekstra
Pete Hoekstra, who is listed as a contributor to Project 2025, has been tapped to be the ambassador to Canada.
Most recently, Hoekstra served as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. He previously served as the U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term.
Stephen Miller
Stephen Miller, the former Trump aide, led an interest group that advised Project 2025 on policy. Trump has named Miller as his Deputy Chief of Staff for his second term.
Miller told ABC News in July that he has “zero involvement” with Project 2025, only making an advice video for students.
America First Legal, founded by Miller, was previously listed as an advisory board member for the project.
Brendan Carr
Brendan Carr, Trump's nomination for chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, is credited as the author of Project 2025's FCC recommendations which include: a ban on TikTok, restrictions on social media moderation, and more.
Carr would be tasked with regulating broadcasting, telecommunications and broadband. Trump has suggestedthat he would expandthe White House's influence over the FCC and potentially punish TV networks that cover him in a way he doesn't like.
Carr is a longtime member of the commission and served previously as the FCC's general counsel and as the senior Republican for the FCC. He has been unanimously confirmed by the Senate three times and was nominated by both Trump and President Joe Biden to the commission.

John Ratcliffe
Ratcliffe, listed as a contributor who assisted "in the development and writing" of Project 2025, has been nominated to serve as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Ratcliffeis a three-term Republican congressmanfrom Texas and served as the director of national intelligence from mid-2020 until the end of Trump's first term.
Project 2025's Intelligence Community chapter, credited to The Heritage Foundation's intelligence research fellow Dustin J. Carmack, notes that the "CIA's success depends on firm direction from the President and solid internal CIA Director–appointed leadership. Decisive senior leaders must commit to carrying out the President's agenda and be willing to take calculated risks."

Tom Homan
Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan has been designated as Trump's "border czar" -- which is not an official Cabinet position.
Homan, who is expectedto be in charge of the mass deportationspromised by the Trump campaign, is listed as a contributor to Project 2025 who assisted in its "development and writing."
Project 2025's Department of Homeland Security chapter, credited to Trump's former Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli, calls for full use of ICE's "expedited removal" authority and further development of immigrant detention spaces. This all aligns with Trump'simmigration proposals on mass deportationsand funds forthe construction of detention centers.
