Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Supporters of Donald Trump hold up signs outside the entrance of the 2024 Republican National Convention.
The Republican National Convention convention wrapped up last night with a speech from Donald Trump that lasted more than 90 minutes. It capped a week that was heavy on rhetoric, short on specifics.
Enter Project 2025. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a document created by the conservative Heritage Foundation that lays out a vision for the next Republican president.
“Project 2025 has gotten a lot of attention,” says Andrew Prokop, a senior political correspondent at Vox. He notes that Democrats in particular point to it as “a stand in for a lot of Trump’s extreme plans for dictatorship.”
Though Trump has distanced himself from the document, experts say much – or even most of its proposals will likely be on the agenda for a possible second Trump term.
Andrew Prokop joined Diane to talk about the myths and the facts about Project 2025.
