I would love to see desantis lead the red state governors to tackle the blob called the feds. Right now I see this area as his biggest contribution and positive impact. The swamp needs to be completely drained and maybe returned to nature. On a state level, he is showing all how to get it done.

What has he said and done about the Capitol Police setting up an office in the Tampa area? What has he said and done about the many Floridians who have been prosecuted and held without bail for J6 so-called crimes? What has he said and done about the persecution, not just prosecution, of Trump? Not nearly enough. Is that only because it would advantage his opponent? I've supported the Governor enthusiastically, but I've also seen that some of his major funders are not on my side, and I've started to notice the dogs that aren't barking (apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).
President Trump hasn't said or done much about those things either, though. He could have pardoned himself and all J6 defendants on his way out the door in January 2021. But he didn't.
Governors have no power to stop Federal prosecutions, even obviously bogus ones. Legal authority and jurisdiction still matter. We can't expect Gov. DeSantis to do things that he doesn't have the power to do.
We can expect him to pledge that he WILL do them when (God willing) he gets that power. I think he's done that, but maybe we can quibble that he should be more emphatic about it.
President Trump may be (slightly, at least, given his personality) constrained by his legal counsel on what he can say or do. Pardoning himself and all J6ers (some of whom were likely Dem plants leading the violence) would have been seen by many as a bridge too far, at least at that time. Gov. DeSantis is being flanked on his right by Vivek Ramaswamy, though, who is saying a lot of what needs to be said, in an unapologetic way. Gov. DeSantis speaks that way on 'woke' topics and somewhat on COVID, though he refused to veto the bill allowing hospitals to keep mandating remdesivir and the other dangerous parts of their protocol and allowed them to keep getting the bonus money for coding everything as COVID, so he's not really 'clean' on that topic, either. Some people are pointing out the difference between what he says and what he does, and sometimes they're right. He's all-in on woke; what else is he all-in on?

I noticed that too. The states need to block together to address the monstrous federal government
