POLITICO Trump thrusts hurricane response into the center of 2024 campaign

Her campaign has attacked Trump repeatedly on social media, featuring clips from his rallies where he talks about Helene or mocks Democrats' rhetoric on climate change. It has also highlighted a clip from Ken Cuccinelli — a former senior Trump homeland security official and Project 2025 contributor, a favorite punching bag of the campaign that Trump has disavowed — talking about shrinking FEMA, warning that 'their plan is to cut assistance for hurricane victims.'
HuffPost GOP Rep. Scott Perry Went From Hailing Project 2025 To Knowing Nothing About It

WASHINGTON ― Ahead of the November elections, Republicans have been scrambling to distance themselves from Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's 900-page, right-wing policy blueprint for radically restructuring the U.S. government under a second Trump presidency.
For Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), who is running for reelection in a very tight race, the exact moment he backed away from it appears to have been between July and August, when he suddenly shifted from celebrating Project 2025 to pretending he didn't know much about it at all.

Trump’s Project 2025 Will Give Extreme MAGA Republicans Total Control
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is a blatant power grab that aims to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked authority. They plan to use this power to criminalize abortion, undermine the middle class, and dismantle Social Security and Medicare.
Under Trump’s Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor women’s pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikes—all while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicans' Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.
