Former President Donald Trump has been elected to be the 47th president of the United States. He will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025.
Prominent conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plan serves as a 900-page conservative guidebook to expand presidential powers. It’s not Trump’s plan and he has tried to distance himself from it, but it is a plan made for Trump, who leaders have described as the “embodiment” of their efforts.
It outlines legal pathways Trump could take to implement some of his biggest policy goals. The project proposes changes to policies that would impact immigration, health care, abortion, the environment, education and more.
Trump has promised to close the U.S. border with Mexico on the first day of his presidency and launch the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. He has also promised to gut President Joe Biden’s clean-energy subsidies. He’s proposed adding a tariff of 10 percent to 20 percent on all imports, with significantly higher levies on imports from China.
Trump also has called for rolling back societal emphasis on diversity and legal protections for LGBTQ+ people. He has also played down abortion as a second-term priority. Trump maintains that overturning Roe v. Wade is enough on the federal level, but he has not said explicitly that he would veto national abortion restrictions if they reached his desk.
