“Saturday Night Live” actor Kenan Thompson will take the stage Wednesday at the DNC in a skit expected to mock “Project 2025”
According to DNC officials, Thompson’s skit will be a game show parody of the infamous document that Trump officials have tried to distance themselves from the candidate.
Several speakers have blasted “Project 2025” during the convention, carrying a large book onto the stage and reading selected passages from the 900-page book.
Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member in “Saturday Night Live” history, having been a main cast member since 2003.
He previously starred in several Nickelodeon shows including “All That” and “Kenan & Kel” and in the movie “Good Burger.”
He hosted the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards and hosted the “People’s Choice Awards” in both 2021 and 2022.
“Project 2025” is a 922-page plan that proposes a dramatic expansion of presidential power, with as many as 50,000 government workers being fired and replaced by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
While Trump has repeatedly tried to distance himself from “Project 2025,” the proposals within would largely be about a Trump victory in the November election, according to NBC News.
Late. JD Vance, who is Trump’s vice president, also wrote the foreword to a book written by one of “Project 2025’s” authors, although that book was delayed until after the upcoming election, according to Poynter.
Paul Dans, who served as chief of staff for the US Office of Personnel Management under Trump, is involved in Project 2025, as is former Trump administration chief of staff for the White House Office of Presidential Personnel John McEntree.
