“I want to make sure that we can say we are a Christian nation. And my viewpoint is mostly that I would probably be Christian nation-ism. That’s pretty close to Christian nationalism because I also believe in nationalism.”

Despite distancing himself from Project 2025, Donald Trump’s connections to the plan don’t end at Vought. Stephen Miller, head of America First Legal, served as a senior advisor for policy and White House director of speechwriting to President Donald Trump. America First Legal was a member of the Project 2025 advisory board until July.

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is pushing Bibles into public schools. Americans United wrote on Walters’ connections to Project 2025 and Christian Nationalism, including Mary Vought, the wife of Russell Vought.

Much like the 900-page document, the Heritage Foundation’s partners are also publicly available. Here’s Project 2025’s more than 100 partners “in preparation for the next president”. Teddy Wilson is mapping the organizations and individuals behind Project 2025. Find out more here. Wilson previously produced a map of the January 6th Capitol riot. But the public stuff accounts for only phase one of Project 2025, leaving us to wonder and act in advance of the more secretive phase two Vought alluded to.
