The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 is undergoing significant changes as the official leading the initiative steps down, amidst sustained criticism from Donald Trump and his campaign. Trump's team welcomed the news of the group winding down its policy work, sending a warning to those trying to associate with him. Project 2025, a collaboration of over 100 conservative groups, was launched by the Heritage Foundation and staffed by former Trump administration officials. The group's work has been utilized by Democrats to scrutinize potential future policies of a Republican administration. The departure of the director and the group's evolving focus have caused a rift, with Trump publicly denouncing the policies advocated by some right-wing factions involved in Project 2025. Despite the changes, the organization's original goal of uniting conservative organizations to craft a collective vision remains intact.
