Paul Dans, the architect of Project 2025, has withdrawn from the South Carolina Republican Senate primary. He endorsed challenger Mark Lynch in a bid to unseat incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham.
Center and center-left outlets like AP News and CNN frame the withdrawal of Project 2025 architect Paul Dans as a significant boost for Graham’s re-election path, though they note Dans endorsed a remaining challenger. In contrast, far-right sources such as WLT Report focus on Donald Trump’s vocal support for Graham and his disparagement of the primary field as "lunatics."
