Paul Dans, Project 2025’s chief architect, says the U.S. Senate is ‘the headwaters of the swamp’

Dance told Associated Press that the Federal Manpower Discounts in the Trump administration and the discounts in federal programs were what he hoped to formulate the 2025 project. But he said that there is “more work to be done”, especially in the Senate.

“What we did with the Project 2025 is to really change the game in terms of closing the door in the progressive age,” Dans said in an interview with AP. “If you look at the location of ConkePoint, it is the Senate in the United States. This is the sources of the swamp.”

Dance, who is scheduled to officially announce his campaign at Wednesday in Charleston, said that Graham spent most of his career in Washington and “it’s time to show the door,” said Dance, who is scheduled to officially announce his campaign at Wednesday in Charleston, that Graham spent most of his career in Washington and “It is time to show the door.”

Graham’s long challenge, which has routinely fought his competitors over the years, is a long political thing in what quickly became a crowded field before the mid -range elections in November 2026, which will determine the control of congress.

Trump early gave his support to Graham, a political partner in the president’s golf, despite their playful relationship. Graham, in his announcement that he will seek a fifth state of the Senate, also obtained the senior Republicans in the state, Senator Tim Scott and Governor Henry McMaster, for the presidency of 2026. He collected millions of dollars in the account of his campaign.

Other candidates, including former Republicans in the ruling South Carolina André Power, the wealthy developer, and the democratic competitor, Dr. Annie Andrews, announced their campaigns for the Senate seat at an early start for the election season, more than a year away.

Graham did not discuss, on Sunday’s appearance on “Meet The Press” from NBC, his campaign to re -election, but he presented questions about topics including his push to issue “as much as you can” case files on Jeffrey Epstein, something that many supporters of Trump wants to take the government.

Dance, a lawyer who worked in the first Trump administration as a White House call to the Personnel Management Office, said he expected support from Project 2025 Allies, as well as the ranks of Trump’s supporters in the country who publicly tired of Graham.

After Trump left the White House, DANS, who is now a four -year -old, went to work in the Heritage Foundation, and often moved on the week to Washington while organizing the 2025 project. The policy scheme of approximately 1000 pages, with classes written by the prominent conservative thinkers, calls for the dismantling of the federal government in the field of federal work, and other right -wing proposals for the white.

“In order to be clear, I think there is a” deep state “there, and I am the only person who advanced at the end of Trump’s first semester and has already begun to drain the swamp,” Dance said, noting that he collected a lot of writers from his kitchen table in Charleston.

He said that among the goals was “the dismantling of the administrative state”, which he said was what the Trump administration is doing, referring in particular to the work of former Trump adviser, Elon Musk, in the Ministry of Governmental efficiency that gives federal offices.

Dans and Heritage separated roads in July 2024 amid a reaction to the 2025 project. It has passed on a political culture in that summer during the presidential campaigns season, where Democrats and their allies offered solid right-wing policy proposals-from group shootings to budget discounts-as a terrible warning of what could come in the term Trump II.

Trump distanced himself from the 2025 project, and his campaign insisted that he had nothing to do with his “agenda 47”.

DANS launches his campaign with a prayer breakfast followed by a starting place in a historical place in Charleston.
