From the article:
Wednesday wasn't the first time DeSantis said he'd slash government agencies if elected to the White House. In June, he said he wanted to get rid of the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Education.
I think DeSantis is trying desperately to make headlines. He has favored a system of Fair Tax vs Income Tax so this is not new and now added Education to the throat slitting list saying he would either abolish it or take it over for use as a tool to fight 'wokeness' in schools.
Being so far behind Trump who can't stay out of the headlines if he tried and generally gets paparazzi levels of media attention even without legal issues is likely going to inspire DeSantis to continue this kind of campaign.
I do not believe it will work as he leans too far right and has shown a devotion more to pet projects that working to find solutions to more important issues facing his home state of Florida
