Project 2025 authors and allies are "organizing to steal the election"

On this edition of Your Call, we're continuing our series on Project 2025 with a look at how its authors and allies are working to undermine the results of the upcoming election.

The nonprofit watchdog journalism organization Media Matters has released a report detailing the ties between Project 2025 authors, contributors, and partner organizations and election denialism groups. According to the report, these groups are "at the forefront of efforts to sow chaos and confusion in the 2024 election." What are their plans if Donald Trump loses the election?
