Former President Donald Trump and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently met in Miami to reconcile their political differences and discuss fundraising. The two leaders had clashed during the primary election, causing tension among their supporters. However, DeSantis ultimately dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.
According to a report from The Hill, the meeting was facilitated by political allies to ease the rivalry between the two politicians. DeSantis agreed to assist Trump with his fundraising efforts, utilizing his network of donors and influence among conservative circles. This support could be crucial for Trump, who has been trailing behind President Biden in fundraising for the upcoming 2024 election.
Although DeSantis and Trump had not spoken since DeSantis exited the presidential race, the Florida governor expressed his belief that Trump would be a better leader than Biden. Despite their disagreements, DeSantis acknowledged that a majority of Republican primary voters favored giving Trump another opportunity.
Contrary to rumors, it is unlikely that Trump will choose DeSantis as his running mate, as the two had been at odds for some time. The meeting in Miami was a significant step towards uniting the Republican party and strengthening their campaign efforts.
