The Democratic National Committee took credit for projecting the words “Project 2025 HQ” onto Trump Tower in Chicago, where the Democratic Party’s national convention is being held this week.
The DNC’s projection marks the latest move by Democrats to tie former President Donald Trump to Project 2025 despite him being adamant he has no connection to it. Project 2025 itself consists of multiple policy proposals organized by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups.
“While Comrade Kamala and the Democrats continue to lie about President Trump and spend thousands of dollars to secure their convention from protestors rather than secure our border, President Trump is traveling to battleground states to prosecute the case against weak, failed, and dangerously liberal Kamala Harris,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner.
The DNC stated in a press release that the projection is intended to showcase the differences between their 2024 ticket, featuring Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), and the Republican ticket, featuring Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).
“Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have proven records of delivering for working families, and now, they’re running to lead our country into a brighter future,” a statement from the DNC read. “Donald Trump and JD Vance are running on their backwards Project 2025 agenda, which would undermine working families and take away their freedoms.”
While Trump has been clear that he has no connection to Project 2025, he has also promoted Agenda 47, which consists of 20 campaign promises to U.S. voters that include securing the southern border, ending inflation, preventing World War III, and protecting women’s sports.

In late July, Project 2025’s director, Paul Dans, stepped down from his position at the Heritage Foundation. The Trump campaign issued a statement that it had been “very clear” it was uninvolved with Project 2025 and that reports of its demise “would be greatly welcomed.”
The Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago on Monday night, with President Joe Biden headlining the opening night’s speakers.
