During campaign stops in Iowa and New Hampshire this week, Gov. DeSantis repeatedly highlighted that he, unlike former President Trump, could serve two consecutive terms and therefore would be better positioned to enact more permanent change.
At campaign stops in Iowa and New Hampshire this week, DeSantis repeatedly highlighted that he, unlike Trump, could serve two consecutive terms and therefore would be better positioned to enact longer-lasting change.
. Trump is limited to only one additional term if he wins, because the Constitution prohibits a person from being elected president more than twice., DeSantis said,"You really need to ensure that we have a two-term president to be able to see this to a conclusion. "Just to be clear, this is not something you can just flip a switch on," he added."If it was, it would be so easy, right? Some people could tell you, 'I’ll fix it all in the first day.' That’s not the way it works. This is really, really significant, day after day. And it really requires two terms to be able to finish the job. I think we could bring George Washington back, and I don’t think he could do it in just one four-year term.
"I can turn this around so fast, getting inflation down, getting interest rates down, getting the economy back. This is going to take six months," he said."When I hear him saying he needs eight years — if he needs eight years to turn it around, you don’t want him as your president. I can tell you that."
