Heritage crafting conservative electronic database to staff a 2024 Republican White House

The venerable conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation is creating a database for the next Republican White House. 

The New York Times, which posted a story Thursday night on the effort, referred to it as "Project 2025" and a "right-wing LinkedIn." 

Heritage President Kevin Roberts said the Washington, D.C., foundation has identified several thousand potential recruits.

According to the Times story, the foundation has a goal of having as many as 20,000 potential administration officials in the database by the end of 2024.

According to the "Project 2025" website, the database has three main points: lay groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right, outline a plan for conservative success and to send a message to the political class.

"In November 2016, American conservatives stood on the verge of greatness," the website states. "The election of Donald Trump to the presidency was a triumph that offered the best chance to reverse the left’s incessant march of progress for its own sake.

"Many of the best accomplishments, though, happened only in the last year of the Trump administration, after our political appointees had finally figured out the policies and process of different agencies, and after the right personnel were finally in place."

Dr. Roberts said that this database will prepare trained and vetted conservatives to get to work on day one in 2025. 

One of the goals of this project is to train conservatives to work effectively in the White House if a Republican, whether that be former President Donald Trump or someone else takes back the White House in 2025.
