The former director of Project 2025, Paul Dans, launched a Senate race against longtime incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Monday, saying he wants to bring Project 2025’s controversial right-wing agenda to the Senate—and becoming one of several further-right candidates now challenging latter-day Trump ally Graham.

This is ultimately a steel-cage match for the future of MAGA,” said Dans, the former director of the right-wing blueprint that has informed Trump’s second term.

Paul Dans helped write conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a detailed blueprint to downsize the federal government and implement other right-wing priorities.
