Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, has postponed the release of his book 'Dawn’s Early Light' until after the upcoming elections, following backlash against the conservative initiative Project 2025, which has ties to Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee, JD Vance. Roberts stated that the time is better spent focusing on political battles rather than promoting his book, which was originally set for release on September 24. The book, which features a foreword by Vance, has been criticized for its contentious views on various social issues, including reproductive rights and family structures. In the wake of the controversy, Democrats have condemned the project as a radical agenda attempting to undermine democracy, particularly highlighting Vance's inflammatory language in the foreword. The Trump campaign is reportedly distancing itself from Project 2025 amid the ongoing scrutiny. While the new publication date remains unclear, the delay reflects a strategic shift as conservatives gear up for the electoral fight ahead.
