President Trump's aggressive stance against the administrative state challenges Democrats, who traditionally position themselves as defenders of government. This dilemma risks framing them as defenders of a dysfunctional system, conflicting with their promise that government can effectively solve societal problems. The article argues for the need to establish a liberal equivalent to Project 2025—termed Project 2029—aimed at radical reforms to improve public administration. By addressing government inefficiencies, Democrats could better align their ideals of social progress with a capable governance structure necessary to implement them effectively.
President Trump's war on the administrative state leaves Democrats defending a flawed system, undermining their claim that government can solve problems, and highlights the need for reform.
Democrats must draw inspiration from Trump's Project 2025 and create a Project 2029 that tackles government reform with audacity grounded in genuine governance improvement.
