Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts: “The overlap is tremendous” between Trump's campaign platform and Project 2025

Roberts says that any “quibbles and differences of opinion” between Project 2025 and the GOP platform would be figured out once a new Trump “administration declares what their priorities are”

VINCE COGLIANESE (HOST): In terms of the things he can't control, the outside stuff, the Biden campaign, as you noted, Kevin Roberts, has seized on Project 2025, distorted it beyond recognition, and is campaigning against it as if it's an extension specifically of Trump's policies. And that has led Trump himself to distance himself to some extent from Project 25 this past week. He claimed on Truth Social that he, quote, knows nothing about Project 2025. He says he has no idea who's behind it, and then he went on to wish the people who are involved in the project well. Can you talk about, first of all, your reaction when you see President Trump say this and what you envision as being behind it tactically?

KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION): Well, I think it's the sign of a great leader who understands he's in a terrific political news cycle. He's run a really good campaign from start up to this point. And the less miss — mischaracterization of Project 2025 had become a liability. I think we've seen that really turn around in the last few days since that statement.
