DeSantis Slams Congress for Not Acting on DOGE Cuts: ‘Betrayal of the Voters’
- On Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis condemned congressional Republicans for not enshrining the spending reductions recommended by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency .
- This criticism arose as Congress showed hesitation to enact DOGE’s proposed spending cuts while approaching the end-of-September deadline to prevent a government shutdown and complete the budget for fiscal year 2026.
- Despite support from conservative lawmakers and President Trump urging codification, Senate Republicans expressed reservations, and House margins were narrow, with some GOP members opposing or abstaining from the bill.
- DeSantis posted on X that seeing Republicans cast aside spending reductions is demoralizing and a 'betrayal of the voters,' while noting Musk faced attacks and became 'public enemy #1 of legacy media.'
- The failure to codify DOGE cuts suggests ongoing challenges in reducing government waste despite 73% public support, and it may delay potential budget savings beyond the current fiscal year deadline.
