First presidential debate of the election cycle approaches, Joe Biden’s campaign has launched a fierce attack on Project 2025, a comprehensive plan crafted by Donald Trump’s MAGA allies. The Biden team warns that if implemented, the plan would allow Trump to “turn his dark dreams into reality,” posing significant risks to American democracy and daily life.
Biden Launches Site Criticizing Trump’s Plans
In an effort to inform and warn voters, Biden’s team has unveiled a website dedicated to dissecting and criticizing Project 2025. This 900-page manifesto, developed by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation with input from Trump allies, outlines a vision for expanding presidential powers and disrupting government operations.
The Controversial Project 2025
Project 2025 is built around four key objectives:

Restoring the family as the central unit of American life.
Dismantling the administrative state.
Defending national sovereignty and borders.
Securing individual rights to live freely.
One of the most controversial proposals in the plan is placing all federal bureaucracy under direct presidential control. Additionally, it calls for increased funding for the US-Mexico border wall, a key element of Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Biden’s Campaign Strategy
Biden’s team is rolling out a multi-faceted strategy to counter Project 2025. This includes digital and physical advertisements across Atlanta, where the debate will be held, directing voters to their new site. The campaign is also leveraging TikTok influencers to reach millions of young voters.
The Debate in Atlanta
The highly anticipated debate will take place on Thursday, June 27, at 9 PM (ET) in Atlanta. A new debate rule, which ensures only the current speaker’s microphone is active, aims to reduce interruptions and disorder, a notable issue in the 2020 debates.
Trump’s Response and Debate Dynamics
Trump, who endorses Project 2025 as part of his Agenda 47 platform, is expected to push back against Biden’s criticisms during the debate. Philippe Reines, who played Trump during Hillary Clinton’s debate rehearsals in 2016, suggested that the new microphone rule might create unexpected moments, potentially putting Biden at a disadvantage if he feels compelled to interject.
As the debate looms, the clash over Project 2025 highlights the stark contrast between Biden’s vision for America and Trump’s proposed return to power. With both campaigns gearing up for a heated confrontation, voters will be closely watching how each candidate addresses these critical issues.
