Political Institutions
In an increasingly polarized country, Americans of all ages should be able to trust that federal agencies are acting in the best interest of our country’s people - not out of partisan interest. Project 2025 and an incoming conservative administration would act opposite of this philosophy - replacing bureaucrats with political allies, and warning that “no one in a leadership position on the morning of January 20 should hold that position at the end of the day” (page 173).
According to Project 2025, an incoming conservative administration would:
- Attempt to replace all non-confirmed senior members of the State Department with conservative-aligned appointees, appointed by the President-elect’s transition team or the new President’s Office of Presidential Personnel
- Encourage the Secretary of State to order a freeze on:
- All efforts to implement unratified treaties and international agreements
- All allocation of resources and foreign assistance disbursements
- All domestic and international contracts and payments
- Any uncompleted / ongoing hiring and recruiting decisions
- Strip funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which they call a “liberal forum for public affairs and broadcasting” (page 246)
