DeSantis campaigns for Federal Balanced Budget

Governor Ron DeSantis in Boise, Idaho

He traveled yesterday as part of a campaign to build support for a federal Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which would require the federal government to spend no more than it collects in revenue.

DeSantis is leading a coalition of Republican governors supporting the amendment through the nonprofit Balanced Budget Now, which he launched alongside Idaho Gov. Brad Little and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and introduced to the Republican Governors Association.

The campaign seeks to promote a federal Balanced Budget Amendment either through congressional approval or a convention of states.

Republican governors sent a letter to Congress on January 11th offering to help Elon Musk and President Trump—in their cost-cutting efforts—reach the ultimate goal of a balanced federal budget.
