As former President Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, Trump’s own vice presidential running mate is praising the man whose organization created the document billed as a transition plan for a potential second Trump term.

Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance wrote the foreword to “Dawn’s Early Light,” a forthcoming book from Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, whose organization created Project 2025.

“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” Vance wrote in the foreword, according to a copy of the text obtained by the New Republic. “The Heritage Foundation isn’t some random outpost on Capitol Hill; it is and has been the most influential engine of ideas for Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump.”

Vance goes on to say that conservatives should rally around Roberts’ ideas in 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.”

In the book, Roberts declares that “America is on the brink of destruction” and seeks to lay out a “promising path for the American people to take back their country,” according to a description of the book from publisher HarperCollins.

That language is very similar to language found in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s transition plan if Trump wins in November, which says that, “With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government.”

Trump has recently tried to distance himself from Project 2025 after Democrats called attention to the extreme ideas in the nearly 1,000-page document. However, dozens of contributors to the document worked in the Trump administration — and could work for him again if Trump wins in November.​
