1:14Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump denied any connection to Project 2025, the handbook for a new conservative government written by the Heritage Foundation and several right-wing think tanks, in his Sept. 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” Trump said in the ABC News Presidential Debate. “I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposely. I'm not going to read it.”
Several key authors of the plan served in Trump's administration. Democrats have focused much of their messaging in the 2024 campaign on tying Trump directly to the document.
“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]," he said on the debate stage.
According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
