One of the biggest controversies of the 2024 election season has been “Project 2025,” a proposed policy roadmap formulated by a team at the Heritage Foundation to guide the Trump administration’s first year in office if re-elected. The project garnered so much negative publicity from the mainstream press that the Trump campaign publicly distanced itself from the contents and the project leader stepped down. But was that really necessary, or the consequence of misinformation from left-wing media presenting selections without context?

On this special episode of The Adult in the Room, Victoria is joined by PJ Media commentator Kevin Downey Jr. to talk about the upcoming election season and the project’s contents, before speaking with Steven Groves, Margaret Thatcher Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and one of the legion of contributors to the nearly 1,000-page document. Hear straight from the source how the media sabotaged the project, what is actually contained in the proposal, and why fearmongering and rhetoric are causing this election, perhaps more than any other, to spiral out of control.
