During the 2024 presidential race, it was difficult to consume much political news without coming across a reference to Project 2025: the right-wing establishment’s plan to use a second Trump administration to usher in a fundamental reorganization of American public life. Since Trump took office in January and the authoritarian project officially got underway, though, coverage of the initiative has fallen off. According to online journalism archive Newsbank, which tracks more than 12,000 outlets around the globe, Project 2025 was mentioned more than 50,000 times in 2024. Though one might expect mentions to increase as the project steadily becomes reality, journalistic references to Project 2025 have declined by more than 30% this year.
