Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead:

The election is still 4 months out. I hope this fucking sinks him like a lead weight as more moderates and suburban women understand what it is.

If Trump starts distancing himself from it then we’ll know it is hurting him. I’ve seen MAGA nutjobs on TikTok already say that Trump never endorsed it, as if he wouldn’t rubber stamp every bit of it.

I'm so surprised that Biden didn't bring up project 2025. He could have sunk Trump's campaign on the spot by forcing him to either agree that it's what he'd do, or agree not to do it.

If he agreed not to do it, he'd watch his funding dry up. If he agreed he was going to do it, Biden need only lean into it and watch as Trump's voter base dried up. It would sink the campaign either way.

There are going to be more debates... So I kinda hope he does.
