Trump is stacking his administration with Project 2025 allies

On this edition of Your Call, we continue our series on Project 2025.

After months of denying any connection to Project 2025, Donald Trump is now making his loyalties clear.

He has nominated several people with ties to Project 2025 to important posts in the next administration, including Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, and Brendan Carr. Russell Vought, one of the main architects of the right-wing blueprint, is also being considered for a top position, according to ABC.

What should we expect from these appointments and how are organizations preparing?

Guests:

Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward

Lisa Graves, founder and executive director of True North Research
