Ron DeSantis has suggested that\u00a0many federal government departments should be moved outside of their current location in Washington, D.C., in an effort to put an end to what he called the &#8220;accumulation of power&#8221; The capital of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis made this comment in an &#8220;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/18\/ron-desantis-takes-the-post-on-tour-of-his-florida-hometown\/&#8221;>interview<\/a> with\u00a0The New York Post\u00a0published on Feb. 18.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is widely seen as a likely\u00a02024 presidential candidate but is yet to\u00a0formally announce any campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/\">Polls<\/a> The fact that Trump is a former President, and he announced his candidacy Nov. 15, 2022, indicates that he has a clear lead over DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>Other options are available, however. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/reports\/monmouthpoll_us_020923\/\">Polls<\/a> of Republican voters show\u00a0DeSantis leading against Trump when it comes to their 2024 nomination preferences.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s latest comments are identical to Trump&#8217;s during his initial campaign where he promised to &#8220;&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yashar\/status\/1351781433115742208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1351781433115742208%7Ctwgr%5E58ed99e95f49ae1fe34da5d30fe52b03276f0cd9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vice.com%2Fen%2Farticle%2Fqjpxkd%2Ftrump-did-one-thing-while-in-office-to-drain-the-swamp-he-just-revoked-it\">Drain the Swamp<\/a>&#8220;And curb Washington&#8217;s influence and power over ordinary Americans.<\/p>\n<h2>DeSantis, Biden Clash Over Immigration<\/h2>\n<p>Republican DeSantis is a regular contributor to this blog. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/desantis-takes-aim-at-biden-over-handling-of-documents\/ar-AA16wKaZ?item=flights%3Aprg-tipsubsc-v1a&#038;ocid=windirect\">taken aim<\/a> At the Biden administration over a range of issues, including the handling of classified documents found at Biden\u2019s former office and home.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s border policies have also caused bickering between the Florida lawmaker and the Florida legislator. Many GOP lawmakers believe that they contributed to the current crisis at the Southern Border.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month,\u00a0DeSantis was handed a win when\u00a0Florida lawmakers approved an expansion of his relocation program for\u00a0illegal immigrants, handing him the authority to transport such individuals from\u00a0any state to any jurisdiction in the country, including to Democrat-led states.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Biden administration and other Democratic lawmakers criticized\u00a0DeSantis for using\u00a0taxpayer funds to fly dozens of illegal immigrants to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, Massachusetts, from Texas.<\/p>\n<p>At the time,\u00a0DeSantis said the move was a response to the Biden administration&#8217;s failed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-immigration\">immigration<\/a> Communities along the southern border have been left overwhelmed by these policies. His office also said\u00a0the flights were voluntary and that immigrants signed consent forms before being flown to\u00a0Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.<\/p>\n<h2>Biden Takes Aim at\u00a0DeSantis<\/h2>\n<p>The legislation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2023B\/6B\/BillText\/Filed\/HTML\">pdf<\/a>The $10 million allocation for the new-expanded program was approved earlier in the month. It specifically criticizes Biden&#8217;s administration by noting that &#8220;the Federal Government has\u00a0proven itself unwilling to address this crisis&#8221; At the border<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis administration and Biden administration also disagree on Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is taught in schools.\u00a0CRT is\u00a0a Marxist ideology that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/charlie-kirk-tyrants-want-to-overturn-our-constitutional-rights-but-people-hold-political-power_3873813.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Human history redefined<\/a>\u00a0As a fight between the &#8220;oppressors&#8221;\u2014typically considered to be white people\u2014and the &#8220;oppressed&#8221;\u2014other identity groups.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier announcement by the Florida lawmaker was made this month.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ron-desantis-florida-state-government-race-and-ethnicity-b1d847ddc5e1f136b17f254f71fd15dc\">Block<\/a> State colleges were prohibited from participating in a pilot program of the College Board&#8217;s new AP Course on African American Studies.
