Trump Campaign Distances Itself from Heritage Foundation's Project 2025

Paul Dans steps down as director amid controversy over the project's influence and radical proposals.

Project 2025 aimed to prepare a Republican administration with a comprehensive policy agenda and vetted personnel database.
Trump has publicly disavowed the project, criticizing some of its proposals as too extreme.
Democrats have used Project 2025 to attack Trump, framing it as a blueprint for his second term.
Despite distancing from the project, Trump may still utilize parts of its work if re-elected.
The Heritage Foundation continues to support Project 2025, emphasizing its goal to reshape the federal government.
