Director of The Heritage Foundation’s ‘Project 2025′ Paul Dans has resigned…
“Friends and patriots, to everything there is a season. We completed what we set out to do, which was to create a unified conservative vision, bringing together over 110 leading organizations united behind the cause of deconstructing the administrative state,” Dans wrote in an email first obtained by Politico.
Democrats have been doing their best to tie Donald Trump to Project 2025 — so Team Trump is not the least bit upset by news of Dans’ departure.
“President Trump’s campaign has been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign, and should not be associated with the campaign or the President in any way,” Trump campaign senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita said in a joint statement.
“Reports of Project 2025’s demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign— it will not end well for you,” Wiles and LaCivita said.
From The New York Post:
Project 2025 began two years ago to hatch plans for the next Republican presidency, including a vast array of suggested executive actions and a list of potential candidates to serve in key staff positions.
The Heritage Foundation partnered with a litany of conservative groups and leaders – including some former members of the Trump administration – to craft the transition plan released a 900-page book detailing its strategy to overhaul the federal government in a conservative direction.
Trump has denounced Project 2025.
“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them,” he wrote on Truth Social earlier this month.
