The governor, who expressed support for the idea last month, has continued to do so, saying in comments last week that he thinks relocating the headquarters to Florida would "probably save about a billion dollars, quite frankly."

Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Monday that $2.1 billion in federal funds had been unfrozen and restored to Pennsylvania, as Democratic governors rely on the courts to challenge President Donald Trump's executive actions.

The White House is pushing back against a report from the Associated Press claiming that nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) canceled aren’t expected to save the government any money.
