Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just called out Republicans in Congress and says they need to match President Trump’s sense of urgency. DeSantis also calls for term limits. “I see the president doing things that are really, really transformative, but I don’t see the same energy from Congress.” “So much of the modern Congress is just performative. It’s just political theater. It’s not substantive. They’re not engaged in the business of accomplishment. It’s all about putting on a show to be able to get returned to office and stay there for as long as possible.” It’s one of the reasons why I think we need term limits for members of Congress. You turn on cable news and you got these guys jabbing. It’s like, what have you done? Okay?” “I know you like to to jab. I know you like to talk. What have you actually done? You’ve been in now for – President Trump’s only been in for 60, a little bit more than that. Congress was in almost, you know, two weeks, three weeks before that. So since January 3, what have they done?” “How many weeks have they had off for fundraising and all this other stuff, and why aren’t they really attuned to what needs to be done to deliver support for the president’s agenda?” “But just as importantly, solidifying these changes, so that it is actually in law. And don’t say it can’t be done. Biden, they only had 50 senators when he came in. They had a very narrow majority in the house. Did that stop them from doing all this stuff?” “They did a lot of bad legislation, but they did it. They got it done. You look in the 90s, when Clinton was president, they passed very tough immigration laws back then. It’s popular. And so I don’t even see an effort really to push this forward.” “The thing is is when you have a new president come in, you have a certain period of time where you have a lot of momentum. Right? Just political physics, naturally, the momentum for the first hundred days is gonna be greater than the momentum two years later. That’s just the way politics works. And what I just see is – I don’t see them really working to seize the moment, and to understand that this is different, that we actually have a chance to to really make serious changes.”
