The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, is reemerging with a campaign to back President-elect Donald Trump's imperiled Cabinet selections.

Summary

The Heritage Foundation, a key architect of Project 2025, is spending $1 million to pressure Republican senators into confirming Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense, despite concerns over his views on women in combat and allegations of misconduct.

Project 2025, a conservative blueprint tied to Donald Trump’s incoming administration, aims to reshape the federal government by reclassifying jobs to ease firings and curtailing agencies.

Heritage President Kevin Roberts framed Trump’s second term as pivotal for advancing conservative priorities, aligning with groups like the America First Policy Institute.

Debate over Hegseth highlights tensions within the GOP.

    Are you familiar with the Heritage Foundation? I would not consider them to be playing checkers. They have had a long game plan and have been implementing it over the years. The “chump change” that is being spent now is a minor step in it. They want a yes man to purge generals that would stop a coup. Give them 4 years of that and it won’t matter what game anyone else is playing.
