Vance has made it impossible for Trump to run away from Project 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By: Andrew Prokop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It turns out the severe right is coming from inside the house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kevin Roberts, the self-proclaimed \u201chead\u201d of Project 2025, has a book coming out in September \u2014 and the book\u2019s foreword is written by Trump\u2019s vice presidential candidate, J.D. Vance, who lavishly praises its ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cNever before has a figure with Roberts\u2019s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,\u201d Vance writes, according to the book\u2019s Amazon page. \u201cWe are now all realizing that it\u2019s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Obviously, this poses a problem for Trump\u2019s attempts to distance himself from the virally unpopular Project 2025 and its lengthy agenda for what he should do if he wins, which includes proposals to restrict abortion access and centralize executive power in the presidency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>And it\u2019s one more indication that Trump\u2019s pick of Vance might be politically problematic for him. Vance has a fascination with provocative and extreme far-right thinkers, and a history of praising their ideas. He is not a running mate tailored to win over swing voters who are concerned Trump might be too extreme \u2014 quite the opposite.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On abortion, Roberts writes: \u201cConservatives in the states and in Washington, including in the next conservative Administration, should push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America.\u201d<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roberts, who has led Heritage since late 2021, has a history of controversial statements. \u201cWe are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,\u201d he recently said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>But Vance is a big fan. \u201cI was thrilled to write the foreword for this incredible book, which contains a bold new vision for the future of conservatism in America,\u201d he tweeted in June.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But [Vance is] on record backing ideas similar to those put forth in two of Project 2025\u2019s most controversial issue areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first is abortion. Project 2025 lays out a sweeping agenda by which the next president could use federal power to prevent abortions, including using an old law called the Comstock Act to prosecute people who mail abortion pills, and working to prevent women from abortion-banning states from traveling out of state to get abortions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vance is on record supporting these ideas. Last year, he signed a letter demanding that the Justice Department prosecute physicians and pharmacists \u201cwho break the Federal mail-order abortion laws.\u201d In 2022, he said he was \u201csympathetic\u201d to the idea that the federal government should stop efforts to help women traveling out of their states to get abortions. That year, he also said: \u201cI certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.\u201d<\/strong><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The second controversial area where Vance is sympatico with Project 2025 is centralizing presidential power over the executive branch<\/strong>. The project lays out various proposals to rein in what conservatives view as an out-of-control \u201cdeep state\u201d bureaucracy \u2014 mainly, by <strong>firing far more career civil servants and installing far more political appointees throughout the government.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vance, as I wrote last week, has backed a maximalist version of this agenda. In 2021, Vance said that in Trump\u2019s second term, Trump should \u201cfire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.\u201d The courts would try to stop this, Vance continued, and Trump should then \u201cstand before the country like Andrew Jackson did, and say, \u2018The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.\u2019\u201d<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>So it\u2019s no big surprise that Vance would write the foreword for a book by Project 2025\u2019s architect. They fundamentally agree on how they see the world, and in much of what they want out of politics: a battle against the left for control of institutions, and expanded government power to stop abortions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Point: \u201cVance has a fascination with provocative and extreme far-right thinkers, and a history of praising their ideas.
