Ron DeSantis Takes Aim At D.C.’s ‘Accumulation Of Power’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is advocating for breaking up the federal government’s heavy presence in Washington, D.C., by moving agencies across the country.

The Republican, who is widely considered a GOP primary frontrunner should he enter the 2024 presidential contest, provided a glimpse of his vision for the country in an interview with the New York Post’s Salena Zito.

“Too much power has accumulated in D.C. and the result is a detached administrative state that rules over us and imposes its will on us,” DeSantis said. “While there are a host of things that need to be done to re-constitutionalize government, parceling out federal agencies to other parts of the country could help reduce the negative effects of this accumulation of power.”

DeSantis, a former U.S. congressman who handily won re-election as Florida governor last year, has not formally declared a campaign for the White House, but he is increasingly taking on the mantle of being a national leader within the Republican Party.
