A review of Trump’s first term, along with his campaign promises and details found within Project 2025, indicate what’s to come in New York.

President-elect Donald Trump hasn’t yet laid out a detailed plan for his administration’s education policy. But a review of his first term and his campaign promises, as well as the details contained in the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, gives some indication of what might be coming in New York.

“We don’t know yet what will happen,” said Randi Levine, the policy director of Advocates for Children of New York, “but many of the policy proposals raised would be devastating for the students we serve.”

President-elect Donald Trump wants to “terminate” Democrats’ climate agenda — and let America “drill, baby, drill.” Those promises could stymie a key component of New York’s plan to help slow global warming over the next few decades: building wind turbines off the coast of Long Island.

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to end all offshore wind projects on “day one” of his second term. “I’m going to write it out in an executive order,” he said at a May rally on the Jersey shore.

He said that offshore turbines, which New York is hoping will supply a sixth of its electricity within a decade, “destroy everything.”
