Ron DeSantis engaged with New Hampshire voters, sharing his vision to &#8220;reconstitutionalize&#8221; the federal government and discussing constitutional amendments he believes should be passed.<\/p>\n<p>As a Republican candidate seeking the party&#8217;s nomination for the 2024 presidential race, DeSantis faced tough questions from the state&#8217;s famously independent-minded voters. Some were curious about how his administration would differ from that of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video_fit_container\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"671\" height=\"377\" class=\"video_frame\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fejU7FXGQLg?wmode=transparent&#038;wmode=opaque\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>A 15-year-old boy named Mitchell posed a challenging question for any conservative candidate. Having heard DeSantis speak at a rally, Mitchell appreciated the governor&#8217;s emphasis on upholding the principles set forth by the Founding Fathers. He then asked whether DeSantis believed that Trump violated the peaceful transfer of power, a key principle of American democracy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5179937\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/07\/id5179937-GettyImages-1230458620_v2-e1680897019457-1-1200x732.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>DeSantis thanked Mitchell for the question and responded thoughtfully. While he didn&#8217;t provide a simple yes or no answer, he also refrained from criticizing Trump, recognizing the importance of Trump&#8217;s supporters in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis stated, &#8220;If this election is about Biden&#8217;s failures or our vision for the future, we are going to win. If it&#8217;s about litigating things that happened two or three years ago, we&#8217;re going to lose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He then referred to his own recent transition of power during his second term inauguration as Florida&#8217;s governor, emphasizing the need to move forward rather than dwell on the past.<\/p>\n<p>Another attendee named Mark asked DeSantis why he was the right candidate to &#8220;drain the swamp&#8221; and bring about change in Washington. DeSantis empathized with Mark&#8217;s frustration, recalling the excitement and promises of Trump&#8217;s rallies in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis assured the audience, &#8220;One thing you&#8217;ll get from me, if I tell you I&#8217;m going to do something, I&#8217;m not just saying that for an election.&#8221; He emphasized his commitment to follow through on promises, even if they don&#8217;t necessarily benefit him politically.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5289140\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/24\/id5289140-DeSantis-GettyImages-1488044820-1200x763.jpeg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>DeSantis then outlined three Constitutional amendments he supports.

However, DeSantis argued that the current system already allows lobbyists to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-is-putin-constantly-calling-ukrainians-nazis\/\" title=\"Why Is Putin Constantly Calling Ukrainians \u2018Nazis\u2019?\">exert significant influence<\/a> in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis shared his experience serving three terms in Congress and highlighted how term limits change incentives. With limited time in office, lawmakers are motivated to leave a lasting legacy and pursue meaningful change rather than simply staying in power.<\/p>\n<p>He contrasted Florida&#8217;s requirement for a balanced budget with Congress&#8217;s tendency to accumulate debt. DeSantis also reiterated his commitment to relocate federal agencies outside of Washington, aiming to reduce the power of the administrative state and restore accountability.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis concluded by emphasizing the founders&#8217; concerns about unchecked power and the need for checks and balances in government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
