Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis convene in Miami to strategise for the November election, marking a significant shift in their previously fraught relationship.
Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a private meeting in Miami to discuss collaboration ahead of the November election. The meeting, initiated by DeSantis, focused on addressing the fundraising disparities facing the Republican Party as President Joe Biden’s campaign amassed $90 million in March alone. This comes as DeSantis, who previously halted his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, commits to supporting Trump’s campaign fundraising efforts.
Their discussions signify a remarkable shift from the previously contentious relationship, marked notably by Trump’s derogatory nickname for DeSantis, “Ron DeSanctimonious.” This reconciliation has been met positively within the party, underscored by comments from DeSantis ally and finance chair, Roy Bailey, who stressed the importance of party unity.
The strategic alignment is seen as particularly significant for DeSantis who has not dismissed the possibility of a 2028 presidential run. This meeting suggests a collaborative approach between Trump and DeSantis as the Republican Party gears up for the upcoming electoral challenge.
