Project 2025 was primarily focused on\u200c areas like \u2062education and providing guidance for\u200b a \u2063presidential transition, \u2062and it\u2062 produced a significant book titled *Mandate for \u200bLeadership \u2013 the\u200c Conservative \u2063Promise*.\u200d Critics\u2062 have pointed out that Trump&#8217;s recent\u2063 enlistment of contributors from this \u200dproject contradicts his earlier\u2062 statements about\u2063 it.

While some contributors\u2064 are receiving new positions, others\u2064 like Roger Severino\u200b are \u2062facing setbacks\u200c due to their association with the \u200bproject.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump returning to Project 2025 authors after rejecting their work on the trail<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1771411\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>After distancing himself from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3101296\/fear-over-project-2025-created-out-of-thin-air-editor-argues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project 2025\">Project 2025<\/a> during his campaign, President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project 2025\">Donald Trump<\/a> has tapped some of its contributors to join his incoming administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Though the project itself encompassed a variety of things, including education and preparing personnel for a presidential transition, public focus, and criticism, revolved around the book it produced &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/static.project2025.org\/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mandate for Leadership &ndash; the Conservative Promise<\/em><\/a>.
