Paul Dans, the director of the controversial presidential transition plan known as Project 2025, has stepped down from his role at The Heritage Foundation, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts confirmed in a statement.
Roberts made it clear that, despite Dans’ departure, the political goals of the right-wing manifesto remain very much alive.
“When we began Project 2025 in April 2022, we set a timeline for the project to conclude its policy drafting after the two party conventions this year, and we are sticking to that timeline,” Roberts said in the statement Tuesday.
“Project 2025 will continue our efforts to build a personnel apparatus for policymakers of all levels — federal, state, and local. I look forward to leading this team to continued success.”
