And his new running certainly knows him. As I posted in the Vance thread:

> Here’s an interesting piece of trivia about Mr. Vance. Kevin Roberts, who took over Project 2025 as part of a leadership shake-up amid blowback over its recommendations for a potential Donald Trump White House, said Wednesday he is focused on defeating presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Trump’s running mate JD Vance penned the foreword to Roberts’ book. But, you know, the Trump campaign has no connection to Project 2025 of course.

Vance wrote the forward to a book Roberts wrote, but Roberts is postponing the publication of the book until after the election so as not to advertise how tight he is with the Trump campaign until the election is over. (Wink wink, nudge nudge…)
