The Transition Integrity Project 2024 (TIP) was an academic exercise in the United States executed in June 2024 and involved some 50 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, military officers, former federal and state government officials. The exercise ran two scenarios to discern potential disruptions to the 2024 presidential election and transition.[1]
The 2024 Transition Integrity Project (TIP 2024) is a short-term project launched by Mike Howell of The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, Adam Ellwanger of the University of Houston–Downtown, and Chuck DeVore of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. TIP 2024 conducted a variety of scenario-based exercises aimed at identifying potential risks to the integrity of the 2024 election and the transition process.
TIP's goal is to ensure that the 2024 presidential election is fair, legal, and peaceful, and that the outcome of the election is accepted by citizens as legitimate. By identifying potential threats to a fair election and a legal transition, the project lays the groundwork for constitutionally committed parties to safeguard the integrity of the process.
The exercises were held in June 2024. In July, the 2024 Transition Integrity Project issued a public report[2] containing observations and recommendations for ensuring a smooth transition in the aftermath of the election depending on its outcome.
The project's rollout at the Heritage Foundation on July 11 was livestreamed.[3]
One of the two scenarios ran by TIP 2024 foresaw the Iranian regime conducting an underground test of a nuclear device.[4] A month after the exercise was run and eight days after the report was release, U.S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken announced that Iran's nuclear breakout time "is now probably one or two weeks."[5]
Media coverage of TIP 2024 was largely negative and skeptical.[6] [7] [8]
