The President's re-election campaign continues to hammer former President Donald Trump about a conservative policy plan the Republican has distanced himself from.
"We can always rely on Donald Trump for one thing: to lie to the American people in pursuit of power. We saw that on the debate stage when he set a record. He lied about the economy, about his role in the January 6 insurrection, and about disrespecting our heroic servicemembers," claimed a written statement from Joe Biden.
The statement went on to accuse Trump of "lying" to "hide his connections to his allies' extreme Project 2025 agenda."
"The only problem? It was written for him, by those closest to him. Project 2025 should scare every single American. It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives and let him use the presidency to enact 'revenge' on his enemies, ban abortion nationwide and punish women who have an abortion, and gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world. It's extreme and dangerous," Biden continued.
"Trump's conservative Supreme Court has already given him a blank check to do virtually whatever he wants with no regard for the rule of law. If he wins, there is no question Trump will use it to pass his Project 2025 agenda. Together, we must defeat him."
Project 2025, a conservative wishlist and purported "presidential transition project," includes proposals to bring the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation under the purview of the President, to make it easier to fire federal workers, to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security, to cut climate change funding and public health funding, and other rollbacks of expansions of the scope of federal government over decades.
Trump has said this isn't his plan.
"I know nothing about Project 2025," Trump posted to Truth Social. "I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them."
A senior Trump advisor tells this reporter that the President speaks for himself about second-term agenda issues, or the campaign speaks, but that outside groups do not determine Trump's path should he be elected again in November.
