Focus on Project 2025 is driving Trump's campaign 'a little bit nuts': MSNBC contributor
During a segment on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" about the controversial Project 2025 that Donald Trump is fleeing from, regular contributor Elise Jordan stated it is the best weapon against the former president and his campaign and it is getting under their skin.
Speaking with co-host Wille Geist, NBC correspondent Vaughan Hilyard set the table by noting that the authoritarian Project 2025 proposed firing as many as 50,000 civil service workers and replacing them with Trump loyalists.
As Jordan argued, revelations like that are frightening the public and that is the last thing they want to deal with when they feel that they have President Joe Biden on the ropes.
"You could destroy the infrastructure of government that's taken so many decades to build up," Jordan, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, explained.

"The Foreign Service, for example, the State Department, the civil service at the State Department, expertise that could not easily be replaced within generations," she elaborated.
"But to step aside to the political ramifications of this, this is the best story for Democrats right now that they have going," she added. "And the Biden campaign, as much as they can keep putting this in the spotlight, it drives Trump and his campaign probably a little bit nuts. Because no campaign likes for an outside group to overshadow what they are doing and to say they're going to be the ones in power. "
"That's what the Heritage Foundation has done essentially right now; they've overstepped their contours. So not only is it a bad story for the Trump campaign, it's also really annoying," she concluded.
