After becoming a political lightning rod during the 2024 campaign, the Heritage Foundation has pledged $1 million to help President-elect Donald Trump appoint members of his Cabinet.

“Taking down the deep state isn’t just a priority for President Trump — it’s the mandate the American people gave him,” Heritage President Kevin Roberts said in a statement. “If he succeeds, it will cement his legacy as the president who confronted Washington’s unaccountable bureaucracy and restored power to the people.”
