Project 2025 is a proposed presidential transition project written by former Trump administration officials that is composed of four pillars: a policy guide for the next presidential administration; a LinkedIn-style database of personnel who could serve in the next administration; training for that pool of candidates dubbed the “Presidential Administration Academy;” and a playbook of actions to be taken within the 180 days in office. This 900-page document proposes a disturbing dismantling of the American Government as we know it.
Panelists include Dr. Bobby Donaldson from USC; Sherry East, President of the SC Education Association; Dr. Ellen Jones of Minorities Against Disparity; Monique Lyle of the Center for Civil Rights History and Research; Dr. Todd Shaw from USC and Political Strategist Antjuan Seawright.
