Project 2025 director steps down amid backlash from Trump

Dans’ departure was confirmed in a statement to CNN by Dr. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, the group that launched Project 2025. Before joining Heritage to lead the project, Dans served as a top official in Trump’s White House.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

Dans' involvement in politics extended beyond his role as a top official in Trump's White House, as he also led Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation, which focused on politics and policy-making. Following his departure, the politics of the organization might undergo significant changes.
