Ex-President Trump recently had a “great meeting” with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a former rival. Trump expressed his happiness for DeSantis’ “full and enthusiastic support” on Truth Social. The meeting, arranged by Trump ally Steve Witkoff, focused on their joint efforts to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” and the future of Florida.

Despite their past rivalry, DeSantis’ strong base could aid Trump against President Biden. DeSantis, eyeing the 2028 presidential race, could also benefit from this reconciliation.

Their meeting marked a turning point since their bitter primary campaign, where Trump criticized DeSantis for his personality, policy, and lack of gratitude for Trump’s endorsement. Despite DeSantis endorsing Trump, the tension continued with DeSantis being called a “sad little man” by a top Trump aide.
