Project 2025 partners are taking a victory lap after the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Trump v. United States, celebrating the ruling on presidential immunity as a win for Trump and a defeat for Democrats. Last week, Project 2025 partners also praised the Supreme Court decision overturning Chevron deference in a ruling that will restrict federal agencies’ regulatory abilities and make it easier for corporations to challenge environmental protections, climate action, and rules that protect workers or regulate drug and financial practices, among other issues.

  • On Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts marked the decision as “vital,” and claimed, “We are in the process of the second American revolution.”
  • Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, president of America First Legal, wrote that the decision is “another setback for the Democrat Party’s illegal and unconstitutional crusade to outlaw dissent, jail the opposition leader, impose authoritarian rule, replace democracy with the deep state and liberty with leftwing oligarchy.”
  • The Center for Renewing America posted a video of senior fellow Mark Paoletta reacting to the decision on Newsmax, adding, “It’s a great day for President Trump… it’s an even better day for the U.S. Constitution.”
