Democrats’ response to the growing tempest over whether President Biden should stay in the 2024 race has been to focus like a laser on something else: Project 2025. The project is a detailed and aggressive plan from top allies of Donald Trump to push American government far to the right and vest more power in Trump’s hands.

Trump is now straining to distance himself from the project, despite its overlap with his own priorities and his many links to it. (A CNN review found that six former Trump Cabinet secretaries have been involved, as have at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration.)

A new poll gets at why both sides are doing what they’re doing — and how important the intensifying clash could be to the stretch run of the 2024 campaign.

Those double haters — the approximately 1 in 5 voters who dislike both Biden and Trump — tend to be the least authoritarian-leaning voters of all.
