Democrats tried to fight back against Project 2025. But as they’ve watched many of the ideas it contained come to fruition under President Donald Trump, some of them want a blueprint for a future administration of their own.

And they want it ready to go if a Democrat retakes the White House in 2028.

A group of Democrats is building a governing agenda that it has dubbed “Project 2029.” Its advisers have begun drafting policies the authors hope could be followed by the Democratic candidates expected to launch a campaign for president ahead of the 2028 election.
