An architect of Project 2025 is pressuring Republican senators to confirm Pete Hegseth

Associated Press  

PALM BEACH, Fla. — The think tank behind Project 2025, the conservative blueprint linked to President-elect Donald Trump, is launching an effort to back Trump’s imperiled selection for secretary of defense in its latest attempt to wield influence in the incoming Republican administration. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said Thursday that his group will spend $1 million to pressure senators unwilling to back Pete Hegseth, whose nomination to lead the Pentagon has come into question due to his views on women serving in combat and reports about his personal behavior. “It’ll be messaging right now with their constituents about how out of step they are with the Trump agenda,” Roberts said in an interview, who argued that criticism of Hegseth was being driven by “the establishment.” Roberts’ announcement that he will support Hegseth is the latest sign that Project 2025, which Trump disavowed amid Democratic criticism during his campaign, is newly ascendant as Trump returns to the White House. Roberts said groups like the Heritage Foundation and America First Policy Institute were “close collaborators on the Trump agenda.” He called the second Trump term the “beginning of the golden era of America’s next chapter.” “I think we’re in the middle of a re-founding of this country,” he said.
