Project 2025 remains nonpartisan, true to 1980s good-gov’t inception despite raucous outcry, key figures say
Fox News
Project 2025 and the crafters of past and present projects spoke out about the endeavor's beginnings through present day and dispelled rumors about partisanship and extremism therein.
From the Reagan administration through the present, the Heritage Foundation has published its Mandate for Leadership series almost every election cycle. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
However, project leaders, including former Attorney General Edwin Meese III, who is now considered the preeminent "elder statesman" of the conservative movement, contend there is nothing radical about the endeavor. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
In an interview on Wednesday, Meese said the major difference between 1980 and 2024 is that the mechanics of the project have changed. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
