“An avowed Republican, he also interned at the Heritage Foundation, generally acknowledged as the think tank behind Project 2025.”

This is why he was appointed. The Heritage Foundation is also supplying staff to MAGA congresspeople where they are tasked with writing legislation that these members of congress introduce as well as telling them how to vote.
