Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold two news conferences on Monday with governors in other states, according to DeSantis’ office.

In a release, state officials said that the first conference will take place in Boise, Idaho, where DeSantis will be flanked by fellow Gov. Brad Little. The conference is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

Meanwhile, the other conference is set Helena, Montana, with Gov. Greg Gianforte, the release shows. That conference is targeting 3:45 p.m.

While state officials didn’t mention the reason for these trips, Idaho News 6 reports that DeSantis is promoting a “Balanced Budget Amendment” campaign.

Per Balanced Budget Now — a nonprofit working with legislators to push the proposal — DeSantis was among the 26 governors who sent a letter to the U.S. Congress back in January, asking that federal leaders work to reduce the national debt and reign in spending.

“We are writing today to express our overwhelming support for President Trump’s (DOGE) Initiative and request that Congress work alongside him to solidify the efficiencies that are found into law,” the letter reads. “As chief executives for our states, we know a thing or two about streamlining government, removing unnecessary bureaucracy, and bringing efficient, result-driven solutions to state government.”

A balanced budget amendment would require that the U.S. Congress balance its budget each year, limiting spending to avoid further growth of the national debt. However, ratifying an amendment to the U.S. Constitution would require support from 38 states.

In Florida, DeSantis has not been shy about touting the state’s fiscal record, with Florida experiencing major budget surpluses in recent years thanks to a combination of spending cuts and sales tax revenues.

“At one point, we just had so much money pouring in — not even through taxing people, just because of the growth and everything happening — that we were like, ‘What are we gonna do?’” DeSantis stated during a news conference earlier this month. “And so we were able to cut taxes. We did something called ‘Moving Florida Forward.’”

The Florida governor has also been a vocal proponent of the Elon Musk-led DOGE, which aims to identify areas of bureaucratic bloat and waste within agencies of the federal government’s executive branch.

Last month, DeSantis unveiled a new Florida DOGE task force, aiming to similarly streamline government operations and “eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy” at the state level to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently.

For a long time now, concerns have mounted over the U.S. national debt, which reached a staggering $36 trillion last year. Critics argue that the current rate of federal spending will continue to push that figure even higher.

During his presidential campaign, Trump vowed to lower these costs, leading to the creation of the federal DOGE. As of this month, the agency has claimed to save over $115 billion.

After a whirlwind NFL season and an emotional Super Bowl loss, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift took some well-earned time off, escaping to Big Sky, Montana for a ski trip. The couple, who have been laying low since the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, were joined by NFL analyst Erin Andrews, adding another layer of excitement to their getaway.

Andrews has long been a supporter of Kelce and Swift, defending them in the face of criticism and offering words of encouragement. After Swift was booed by fans at the Superdome following the Super Bowl, Andrews stepped up to show her support.
In a recent interview with Athlon Sports, Andrews spoke highly of Kelce, emphasizing his positive influence in sports broadcasting.
“He’s such a great guy to cover. He’s always been super wonderful to me and everybody really in sports broadcasting. He’s one of our guys in the league. He makes it so much fun,” she shared.

Beyond her admiration for Kelce, Andrews has also credited Swift for influencing her own confidence and fashion choices. Speaking on her Calm Down podcast with Charissa Thompson, she praised the pop icon for making it “cool to be like, I’m a woman, and I love sports.”
“For years, I’ve just been blending in and doing the game. No, F that,” Andrews said. “I’m going to praise our girl. I’m going to praise Taylor for making it cool to be like, I’m a woman, and I love sports. And it’s good—we can look great.”
According to Deuxmoi, Andrews recently joined Swift and Kelce for a trip to Montana’s famous ski resorts. A source revealed that Swift was spotted dining at the exclusive Yellowstone Club, where she enjoyed lunch with Andrews. Unlike her usual high-security outings, Swift had only one security guard accompanying her, suggesting a more relaxed setting for the group.
While it remains unclear if Andrews’ husband, Jarret Stoll, and their son, Mack, joined the trip, it was clearly a moment of relaxation for all. This retreat follows Swift and Kelce’s recent low-profile appearances in Park City, Utah, and New York City, where they have been focusing on their personal lives away from the public eye.

While their relationship continues to make headlines, the couple seems intent on prioritizing their private moments, balancing fame with personal happiness.
