EXCLUSIVE: Governors from all over the country go down Washington, DCThis week for the winter meeting of the Governor National Association Association. Among them is the Government of Tate Reeves, R-Mis., Who said Government Efficiency Department He renewed the optimism of Republican governors in the Federal Government.
Reeves, who was elected Governor Mississippi in 2019 and re -elected in 2023, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview at the Republican Governors’ Association to match the “fiscal health of Republican governors”.
“There is no doubt that Republican governors are leading a nation in fiscal responsibility and, honestly, in fiscal reasonableness. It is part of this because, as governors, we have to balance our home budgets. Government efficiency, to Elon musk And his team with the support of President Trump, this gives us a great reason for optimism, because we think there are literally billions and billions of dollars in consumption in a federal government that should not be spent on waste, fraud and abuse, “Reeves said.
The second term governor said that most Americans appreciate Doge’s audit, and the Republicans will not allow the Federal Government to spend the US dollars of taxpayers on “some of the crazy things identified in the last few weeks.”

“We believe we should treat taxpayers ‘money just as we do with our own money. We won’t let our money be spent on things that don’t make sense. We don’t think we should use taxpayers’ money, spending them on things like what was found in the last three weeks, “Reeves added.

In the meantime, Reeves cannot wrap his head around the rejection of Democrats on government efficiency.
“I’m really confused why Democrats didn’t really support these efforts,” Reeves said. “There was time in America where all politicians of reasonable stripes would say that we should try to make the government more effective. We should ensure that the government money is spent in the right way.”
Reeves questioned who had benefited from the abuse of dollars of taxpayers during the administration of President Joe Biden.
“Democrats’ proportions to these audits are really out of my ability to understand. The reality is that in the Government, they are fighting for waste, fraud and abuse. It is almost like they want that waste, fraud and abuse. It drives you to question who has a benefit of the way to which the bidet administration spent these dollars in the last four years. “
Democrats called Doge’s constant dismissal and President Donald TrumpOrdering executive commands orders a “constitutional crisis”. Reeves said Trump does exactly what he was chosen to do.

“When you talk about their claims about the constitutional crisis, a neatly elected president that manages the executive branch of government is not a constitutional crisis. In fact, this should do this neatly elected Executive Director. President Trump does exactly what he does exactly what he does exactly what he does What exactly he does is a mandate when he chose to be a mandate in November in November. Deciding that government efficiency is not something they want to support, “Reeves said.
Reeves added Trump’s return to White house has strengthened the voices of the governor on both sides of a political aisle, attracting a distinct contrast between President Joe BidenAnd Trump’s Presidency.
“Having Trump President in power is a big plus, not only for me or our Republican governors, but also for all governors,” Reeves said. “The first thing I would say about President Trump is that this is completely different from what we have seen during the Biden years, regardless of politics, regardless of politics stops. President Trump respects and wants to hear from the governor. He wants to know what is to know what He wants to know what the other main executives want to know in the United States.

Reeves said, unlike what he saw during Biden’s administration, Trump truly appreciates all the governor’s opinions and has access to the president again.
“I think even some of those governors on the other side of the political aisle will recognize that this is certainly something that President Trump appreciates is our opinion. We will see this in the next few days, with more options for sitting down and visiting with the President, so that is that encouraging. “
Reeves said Trump’s return to Washington is being built on the momentum of Mississippi in education, artificial intelligence and production.

“We want to cooperate with President Trump in his efforts to produce more on land. This is something that is important for the Mississippi economy. Many countries across the country have given up production 20 years ago. Mississippi has never given up on production. This is the reason. We have a workforce that is ready for huge economic growth and prosperity.
