Sen. JD Vance , R- Ohio , wrote a foreword to a new book by the Heritage Foundation -led Project 2025 .

Project 2025 has been billed by the think tank as an attack on the “deep state” and proposes disbanding multiple federal agencies, excluding abortion from health care and ending an array of climate change programs.

Trump has publicly disavowed Project 2025 , a set of sweeping policy proposals for a hoped-for Republican presidency.

Roberts ’ book is the latest Heritage -related project to be caught up in the maelstrom.

The Biden and, later, Harris campaign has released statements and edited video clips falsely suggesting Vance has endorsed Project 2025 .

But in recent weeks , Roberts ' publisher, Broadside Books , a conservative imprint of Harper Collins , pulled offline a digital advance copy of the book.
