Paul Dans, the director of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, has stepped down amid intense criticism from former President Donald Trump and his campaign. Project 2025, a conservative roadmap for a potential second Trump administration, has faced backlash from both Democrats and Republicans. Despite Dans' resignation, which will be effective in August, the Heritage Foundation has confirmed that the project will continue. Trump's campaign advisors, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, have publicly distanced the campaign from Project 2025, stating that it had nothing to do with the campaign and welcoming reports of its demise. The project has been criticized for its radical proposals and has become a contentious issue in the political landscape. Dans' departure was also mentioned in an internal email.
