Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has accused congressional Republicans of betraying their constituents by failing to enforce significant spending cuts proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. He criticized House Republicans for fully funding initiatives such as USAID while attempting to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which aims for $1.5 trillion in reduced spending over a decade but also increases the deficit. Despite claims of saving taxpayers $175 billion, the efficacy of those savings remains disputed.
"To see Republicans in Congress cast aside any meaningful spending reductions (and, in fact, fully fund things like USAID) is demoralizing and represents a betrayal of the voters who elected them."
"He became public enemy #1 of legacy media around the world. To see Republicans in Congress cast aside any meaningful spending reductions... is demoralizing."
