Instead of starting a new political party, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis urged that Elon Musk, the billionaire businessman, work to change the United States Constitution to establish term limits for members of Congress and a balanced budget.
A new political party named the America Party has been established by Musk, who has been harping on the need to reduce government expenditure.
“Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate,” he wrote on X.
It has not been approved by DeSantis.
According to the governor, Democrats have a good chance of winning contested Senate and House races if Musk supports candidates in those races.
However, DeSantis did admit that the GOP has a problem with candidates who promise to cut spending but don’t really cut expenditure. “There’s a gap between the campaign rhetoric, and then the performance,” according to him.
That “electing a few better people” will change the debt issue’s “trajectory” is something he made clear.
The “incentives” in D.C., according to DeSantis, will “lead to these outcomes, really, regardless of the outcome of elections at this point,” who went on to say that the Constitution needs a balanced budget amendment.
In addition to term limits for Congress, DeSantis stated that Musk’s involvement “would have a monumental impact” on the United States.
