The director of a conservative policymaking group known as Project 2025, which has drawn criticism from Democrats for its hard-right proposals and has become a campaign liability for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has stepped down.

The conservative Heritage Foundation, which is organizing the project, confirmed that Paul Dans was stepping down, but did not provide a reason for his departure.
