Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, an architect of the highly controversial Project 2025, has delayed publication of his upcoming book until after the 2024 presidential election.

The book, which is titled Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington To Save America and features a foreword written by Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, was shelved at a time when former President Donald Trump and his campaign have been trying to distance themselves from the project, which pushes a radical overhaul of the federal government that would give the president power to fire career civil servants and replace them with political loyalists.

Missouri Republicans ratified Gov. Mike Parson’s choice of successor Tuesday by nominating Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, rejecting the scion of a veteran political family and the disruptive tactics of the GOP’s most vocal faction.

Kehoe trailed Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft in most polls until this summer, when the $16 million campaign warchest he amassed in his campaign fund and joint fundraising PAC enabled Kehoe to fill the airwaves, overwhelming opponents and surviving a late onslaught of outside spending.

Judge Juan Merchan released a letter Tuesday telling Donald Trump that the Sept. 18 sentencing date in his hush money conviction will not be changed.

Over the past few weeks, the judge has received a smattering of filings from Trump and his lawyers seeking to push back the hearing, but it has been to no avail, reported MSNBC's Adam Klasfeld.

Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate in the race to be the next president.

The name was released by CNN on Tuesday.
