I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this."

Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

This is STILL the best post-mortem I've read. And a fascinating inside look. Bottom line: Harris lost the day Trump successfully distanced himself from an abortion ban. AND Trump had a billionaire-funded super propaganda machine that was especially effective on uneducated white men.
How Trump Won, and How Harris Lost
He made one essential bet: that his grievances would become the grievances of the MAGA movement, and then the G.O.P., and then more than half the country. It paid off.
