Published Nov. 30, 2025 The potential impact of Project 2025, which refers to a comprehensive document titled "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise" created by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, was a hot topic throughout the 2024 U.S. presidential election for its suggested sweeping changes to the United States government.
