The director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 vision for a complete overhaul of the federal government has stepped down, the conservative think tank confirmed Tuesday.
But the news comes after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has increasingly disavowed Project 2025 amid escalating attacks by Democrats, prompting speculation that Trump’s campaign forced the exit.
NEW statement from Trump campaign leaders Susie Wiles & Chris LaCivita:
"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.
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."

Has sort of a “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes” vibe. Also, we know that anybody working for trump is a lying liar who lies. All the Project 2025 people at Heritage are trump people. Period.

Only because their only other choice is Harris. Who else are they going to support?

Every single one of the authors of Project 2025 was part of the RNC convention. Dome had speaking roles. Many worked in the last administration. You cannot believe anything the Trump campaign says.
Think tank members ALWAYS try to initiate their agendas onto administrations. You don’t think left leaning think tank members have worked in Democrats administrations? Come one now

Vance literally wrote the foreword for the Project 2025 book that’s about to come out.
There are numerous instances of Trump talking about the creator of P2025, including while literally standing next to each other.
Trump lies. All he does is lie.
A good way to turn the page on this would be to roll out the actual, officially sanctioned, government-funded Trump Transition.
