Vance and Rubio said Trump is not beholden to the agenda of Project 2025, a program created by the conservative Heritage Foundation that calls for slashing social programs and making the government more partisan.

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project, as it is otherwise known, attacks several policies that former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden instituted, including student loan forgiveness and Obamacare.

The 2025 project also urges the Food and Drug Administration to reverse the approval of abortion pills and would further empower Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport undocumented immigrants.
