Governor DeSantis explained to Steve Deace today how he was able to be so successful as governor.

Watch below:

Here’s part of what DeSantis said:

Before I took office I surveyed all the powers of the governor, constitutional statutory customary. I looked to see what my were visa vi local government. Because I came into office and removed some of the recalcitrant election supervisors from South Florida. We removed the sheriff of Broward who bungled the Parkland. I’ve since removed a Soros prosecutor in Tampa. And so I had a sense of what levers do I have at my disposal.

We have these great ideas that we all share, these great values. We want to see these great policies but I can’t just wave a magic wand. I’ve got to get this through a Constitutional System. We know there’s lawsuits from the Left on almost everything we do. What’s the judiciary look like? What’s the legislative pushback gonna be, if any? So really I think we’re smart about navigating that.

And that would be similar to how I would approach the job as president. Article II vests the executive power in the president. I think there’s some under-utilized levers that presidents have not been willing or just decided not to wield in recent years. And I think that’s part of the reason why we’ve got such an out-of-control bureaucracy…

This is exactly what we need in our next president, someone who is willing to take the job so seriously that they actually study what powers they have and then exercise those powers in a lawful way to reform the out-of-control bureaucracy. I doubt anyone, even recalcitrant Trump supporters, would deny this is what we need.
