Read our privacy policy Robert F Kennedy Jr, the former independent presidential candidate who is now on Donald Trump’s presidential transition team, said Trump told him he’s never read Project 2025 and thinks the author of the document is “a right-wing a******.” In an attempt to distance Trump from the 900-page far-right agenda, Kennedy told the All-In podcast Friday that Trump had never heard of Project 2025 until Democrats began associating the two together. Though Trump has a yearslong relationship with the Heritage Foundation, he has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming he had “no idea who is behind it” and knows “nothing” about it. The Trump campaign maintains that Project 2025 is not Trump’s agenda and “any personnel lists, policy agendas, or government plans published anywhere are merely suggestions.” But Trump and some of his allies have repeatedly tried to put distance between the former president and the document. Kennedy told the All-In podcast that Trump is listening to a “wider range of voices” and that the presidential transition team, which is responsible for helping the incoming president choose appointees, is a “wide diversity.” Kennedy is on the transition team as well as former Representative Tulsi Gabbard.
