Rocky Mountain High: Ron DeSantis heads to Idaho, Montana to push Balanced Budget Amendment

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis visited Idaho to promote a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget, supported by Idaho Governor Brad Little and Lieutenant Governor Scott Bedke on March 24, 2025.
The proposed amendment would initiate a convention of the states, a method not previously used to amend the U.S. Constitution.
Critics warn that a constitutional convention could allow changes to the entire Constitution, while supporters argue it is necessary to manage the growing federal deficit.
DeSantis plans to continue promoting the amendment in Montana following his visit to Idaho.
