JD Vance revealed to be giving foreword on new Project 2025 book – despite Trump denials of campaign ties

Eyebrows have been raised after it was revealed that Donald Trump‘s running mate JD Vance has written the foreword to a book on the controversial Project 2025 – despite the former president denying all connection to it.

Amazon’s listing of the book, Dawn’s Early Light, describes it as outlining “a peaceful ‘Second American Revolution’ for voters looking to shift the power back into the hands of the people.

The listing notes Project 2025 head Kevin Robert as its author and Vance as the foreword. The Ohio Senator has also left an editorial review of the book in which he praises its ideas as “an essential weapon” in “the fights that lie ahead.”

“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’s review states. “

“We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lie ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

Project 2025 is a 900-page plan drawn up by former Trump aides and endorsed by powerful right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation – of which Roberts is also the president. It aims to give the former president a roadmap for his second administration.

The sprawling plan details plans to, should Trump regain the White House in November, expand his executive authority, replace civil servants with ideologically aligned appointees, crush abortion rights and impose an anti-immigrant agenda, among other policies.

“Dawn’s Early Light blazes a promising path for the American people to take back their country,” the book’s description on Amazon reads.

Trump has previously claimed he knows “nothing” about Project 2025, nor “who is behind it.” Vance’s foreword to the book
