Project 2025 author Paul Dans will challenge Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina
WASHINGTON (AP) — A chief architect of Project 2025, Paul Dans, is launching a Republican primary challenge to Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, joining a crowded field that will test the loyalties of President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement in next year's midterm election.
Dans told The Associated Press the Trump administration's federal workforce reductions and cuts to federal programs are what he had hoped for in drafting Project 2025. But he said there's “more work to do,” particularly in the Senate.
“What we’ve done with Project 2025 is really change the game in terms of closing the door on the progressive era," Dans said in an AP interview. ”If you look at where the chokepoint is, it's the United States Senate. That’s the headwaters of the swamp."
Dans, who is set to formally announce his campaign at an event Wednesday in Charleston, said Graham has spent most of his career in Washington and “it’s time to show him the door.”
