Trump’s inner circle is quite happy with the project’s personnel work, but not its ideological developments.
Paul Dance, director of the conservative Project 2025, launched by the Heritage Foundation in 2022 under the expected victory of Trump in 2024, announced his resignation.
The remaining management of the project and Heritage leaders declare the successful continuation of the work and the achievement of “all set benchmark objectives”. One of the main objectives of Project 2025 was to select and train 30,000 conservative professionals in the field of public administration to replace both political appointees (under Obama and Biden) and career employees of federal agencies who were supposed to be fired.
Another objective set by the Heritage grant was to develop a conservative agenda for 2025. And this program/agenda was called “a pain in the ass” by one of the Trump campaign staff members.
What the “Project” has developed is considered too outdated and dogmatic, both in the economic and social spheres. The Democrats are using the project’s bogeyman to criticize Donald Trump’s candidacy.
Apparently, the change of director is connected with the second part of the work of the “Project 2025”. Whether the program of the supposed Trump presidency will be reworked by Heritage is currently unknown.
