Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance speaks as former President Donald Trump listens at a campaign rally at Wright Bros. Aero Inc. at Dayton International Airport on Monday, Nov. 7, 2022, in Vandalia, Ohio.

For months, former President Donald Trump has been distancing himself from Project 2025. The plan is a set of conservative policy proposals for a future Republican administration put out by the Heritage Foundation.

But recently it came to light that Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, has written a forward to a new book by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts. Meantime, CNN has obtained a video of the co-author of Project 2025 telling undercover climate activists that he is secretly laying the groundwork for a Trump administration.

Could these latest findings complicate Trump’s campaign messaging? On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss with political science experts who are following the race.
