Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in an interview Wednesday that he supports eliminating several federal government agencies entirely—along with the Internal Revenue Service.
Appearing on Fox News, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate was asked by Martha MacCallum if there were any parts of the federal government he’d like to do away with if elected president, with MacCallum mentioning that some Republican candidates in the past have made such calls part of their platform.
Unlike former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who forgot one of the departments he wanted to nix during a 2012 GOP primary debate—and was then picked by Donald Trump in 2016 to lead that very department—DeSantis casually listed them off: “We would do Education, we would do Commerce, we would do Energy, and we would do IRS.”
