Claim:
U.S. Vice President-elect JD Vance wrote the foreword to a book by Project 2025’s leader that offers conservative blueprint for their presidential candidate for 2025. That rating stands as accurate.
As word spread online that U.S. Vice President-elect JD Vance had written the foreword to Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts’ Project 2025-related book in July 2024 after President-elect Donald Trump selected Vance – then serving in Ohio state government – as his Republican vice-presidential running mate, this tale quickly spread online.
Claim has surfaced again following Trump’s victory in the general election of Nov. 5, 2024 due to book publisher delaying publication until after that election; initially planned release was Nov. 15 as of this writing.
Vance wrote the foreword for this book written by Heritage Foundation President Owen Roberts; Publisher’s Lunch has identified it as one associated with their Project 2025 policy agenda.”
Vox reported, “the book was written and released prior to Vance being chosen as Trump’s running mate; however, some involved may have had second thoughts; Roberts stated this change when making their announcement about publication date changes:”
One must recognize when to pause writing, reading and book tours to put forth maximum efforts into taking back our country… This is why my book publication and promotion will happen after November 6th.
“Dawn’s Early Light: Reclaiming Washington to Save America” has now been officially published by its publisher; according to them, its themes and ideas reflect closely those found within Project 2025’s “mandate for America”, previously covered on Snopes:
Dawn’s Early Light provides the American people with a promising roadmap towards taking back their nation. Chapter by chapter, this work details institutions that conservatives need to establish; others that we must recapture; and still others too corrupt for rescue – such as Ivy League colleges, FBI headquarters, New York Times articles about them or corrupt groups such as National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases or Department of Education officials or BlackRock, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or National Endowment for Democracy to name only some examples – must all be dismantled if we wish for continuity into future generations of American way of life and democracy!
In July 2024, The New Republic published excerpts of Vance’s foreword from an advance copy of his book that were similar in language and tone to Roberts’ call for “second American Revolution”.
The old conservative movement held that leaving government out would allow natural forces to work their magic and solve our issues, yet today this approach no longer suffices; therefore we must adopt another path in our efforts towards self-government and independence from outside forces.
As Kevin Roberts writes: It may be prudent to maintain an unarmed approach while enjoying the protection of daylight hours; but once darkness falls and threats emerge from within your community, your response should change drastically if possible.” When night comes and the sound of howling wolves fills the air – circle those wagons and load your weapons!
Now is the time for us all to gather around the wagons and ready our weapons; our ideas represent vital weapons in future fights that we’ll need.
Since Vance did indeed write the foreword to a book written by Project 2025’s leader, we rate his claim as true. To verify it further, sources were used.
