Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, has delayed the publication of his book 'Dawn’s Early Light' until after the November 2024 election, following backlash over the organization's Project 2025. The book, which includes a foreword by JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, has been criticized for its association with Project 2025's controversial policy proposals. These policies aim to overhaul the federal government, roll back abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, and reverse climate policies. The delay comes as Trump's campaign seeks to distance itself from Project 2025, despite Vance's prominent role in the book. The book's postponement highlights the contentious nature of Project 2025 and its potential impact on the upcoming election.
