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

Sat Mar 29, 2025, 12:06 PM

Mar 2025

He is pushing for a Balanced Budget on the federal level.
On Monday, Gov. Ron DeSantis is headed to Idaho and Montana, where he will hold news conferences with Governors Brad Little and Greg Gianforte.

The press advisory from the Governor’s Office omitted details about why he’s going. However, Idaho News 6 reports that the Florida Governor will push for a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as part of the Balanced Budget Campaign supported by all Republican Governors.

KTXB reports he will be in Idaho for a so-called “informal rally aimed at state legislators” between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The press conference in Idaho is slated for 9:30 a.m. Mountain Time, while the Montana event (presumably covering the same topic) is scheduled for 1:45 MT.
