Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) wrote the foreword of an upcoming book from the architect of Project 2025, a right-wing blueprint for the next Republican administration.
Why it matters: Former President Trump, who chose Vance as his running mate last week, has attempted to distance himselffrom the Heritage Foundation-backed plan after Democrats seized on it to mobilize voters.
Driving the news: In publishing materialsfor Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ upcoming book, “Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America,” Vance said Roberts is presenting a “new future for conservatism.”
Vance also uses incendiary imagery while praising the book, writing, “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.”
Zoom in: The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 are referenced in the first sentence of the book’s description, which also claims “America is on the brink of destruction.”
