In an odd tactical decision, the Biden-Harris campaign has chosen to demonize the Heritage Foundation and tie that organization to Donald Trump. Heritage has published the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. It is a compendium of recommended conservative policies, intended to be “the conservative movement’s unified effort to be ready for the next conservative Administration to govern at 12:00 noon, January 20, 2025.”
Donald Trump has nothing to do with the Heritage Foundation, and had nothing to do with Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership. Some of the policies recommended by Heritage, such as free trade, reduced tariffs, and nationwide limitations on abortion, are at odds with Trump’s policies. Nevertheless, the Biden campaign finds it worthwhile to demonize Heritage:
Calling it “Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda” is one more in an endless series of Biden lies.
This one is downright funny:
As always, Biden’s campaign appeals to the ignorant. But it strikes me as an odd sort of appeal. The Heritage Foundation is a respected, center-right institution, but most people have never heard of it, or of Project 2025. It is hard to see how tying Trump to something few have heard about helps Biden. “MAGA,” unfortunately, polls poorly, and the Democrats chirp endlessly about Trump’s “34 felony convictions.” They don’t need to drag Heritage into the picture to demonize Trump.
So this effort strikes me as even less promising than most of the Biden campaigns other tactics.
