DeSantis Pledges to Eliminate Four Federal Agencies

June 28, 2023 · 11:21 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that if he is elected president he would seek to close four federal agencies as part of an effort to reduce the size of government,” NBC News reports.

Said DeSantis: “We would do Education, we would do Commerce, we’d do Energy, and we would do IRS.”

He added: “If Congress will work with me on doing that, we’ll be able to reduce the size and scope of government. If Congress won’t go that far, I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”
