Republican VP Nominee J.D. Vance wrote a foreword for a book that the Heritage Foundation’s president wrote that echoed much of Project 2025’s mandate.

“While Project 2025’s coordinators previously told Newsweek that it ‘does not speak for any candidate or campaign,’ it was written in conjunction with a host of former Trump staffers, as many as 140, according to an analysis by CNN.

“Last month, Vance posted on X, formerly Twitter, about writing a foreword for Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ new book, Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America, saying he was ‘thrilled’ to have done so and that the book contained ‘a bold new vision for the future of conservatism in America.’

“Vance also contributed a review for the book ahead of its release in September, writing:

‘Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism.’

‘We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.’

‘In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.’

“There are topics from the blurb that echo Project 2025’s proposals. For example, Roberts writes that the Department of Education (DOE) and the FBI are ‘too corrupt to save.’ Project 2025 states that the DOE should be shut down and describes overhauling the FBI, calling it a ‘bloated, arrogant, increasingly lawless organization.'”
