When announcing Moody’s selection, Gov. DeSantis said he wanted “somebody that’s going to work with President Trump to deliver on the mandate he earned from the American people,” and will “lean in against the excessive spending and cut spending and stop the inflation.”

DeSantis further stated that he wanted someone who “understands that the federal bureaucracy is run amok and it must be held to account, and we need three branches of government, not four branches of government.”

We need somebody that understands the fight against illegal immigration, is willing to shut the border, and importantly, make sure any legal immigration to this country is putting Americans first, can't be bringing foreigners in to displace our own people in key positions.

She further stated that she is “ready to show up and fight for this nation and fight for President Trump to deliver the America First agenda on day one.”
