Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database to identify potential hires for the incoming administration, a person familiar with the plans said.

Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    They are just angry and trying to blame other people for their shitty candidates loss. If they can scapegoat other voters they can feel superior, it’s basically all to protect their fragile feelings.

    Kind of sad really

    Crows got to straw man I guess

      Oh, they’re not angry. They’re just dismayed to learn how many C.H.U.D.s there are in this country who had no problems voting for a narcicistic, low IQ rapist after watching him fuck up for 4 years, and after attempting a coup. Like, seriously, out of all the Republicans to choose from, ya’ll decided Trump was your best and brightest TWICE. It’s like watching the fall of the Roman Empire in real-time.

        You know what’s just as productive as blaming voters? Masturbating into a Kleenex. Unless you have a plan to nominate better voters next cycle (yes, if there is one) then your attention is better spent on how we fix a Democratic party that’s so pathetic that it lost to Trump twice.

        If Rahm Emanuel or another establishment clone is the next DNC chair, get ready to see this happen again. That’s where the focus belongs for anyone who wants to fix this shit.
