About this episode
Donald Trump’s lead in the polls for the 2024 presidential race has widened following a fumbling debate performance from Joe Biden, and concerns about the President’s age.
With the increasing likelihood of a second Trump presidency, attention is now turning to his potential governing agenda.
The blueprint, called Project 2025, is more than 900 pages long and includes calls to sack thousands of civil servants, expand presidential power, and dismantle federal agencies.
Today, senior researcher at The Australia Institute, Dr Emma Shortis, on Project 2025, and the threat of ‘a second American Revolution’.
