Here is more from the Associated Press:
The director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 vision for a complete overhaul of the federal government stepped down Tuesday after blowback from Donald Trump’s campaign, which has tried to disavow the program created by many of the former president’s allies and former aides.
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said Paul Dans’ exit comes after the project “completed exactly what it set out to do.” Roberts, who has emerged as a chief spokesman for the effort, plans to lead Project 2025 going forward.
The Heritage Foundation said Dans left voluntarily and it was not under pressure from the Trump campaign. Dans didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
It was almost certain than Trump’s campaign forced the shakeup, said one former Heritage aide.
Project 2025’s website will remain live and the group will continue vetting resumes for its nearly 20,000-person database of potential officials eager to execute its vision for government, the Heritage Foundation said Tuesday.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board had harsh words for Mr. Roberts.
Politico wrote a major piece saying that Project 2025 was a "mirage" all along.
Pro Publica has also written a major piece about Paul Dans.
The Associated Press has a new piece on Russell Vought and Project 2025, including the so-called 180-Day Transition Playbook.
Update: At least 38 Democratic lawmakers signed a letter to the Kevin Roberts of Heritage to request a meeting to discuss Project 2025 and release the so-called 180-Day Playbook.
And now, Kevin Roberts will reportedly delay the publication of his new book "Dawn's Early Light" after the Project 2025 firestorm.
The Washington Post is reporting that Trump took a private flight in 2022 with Kevin Roberts, chartered by Heritage, where they apparently discussed proposals for 2025.
Larry Hogan, a Republican running for the US Senate, now has ad attacking "the extreme Project 2025."
