In BIG Republican Presidential news today, it is being reported Governor Ron DeSantis and Former President Donald Trump had a meeting this weekend.
MIAMI — Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump seem ready to put their feud from the Republican presidential primary aside — for real this time.
The two Florida Republicans met in Miami Sunday morning to talk about how they could work together during the general election, according to half a dozen people familiar with the meeting who were granted anonymity to speak freely.
Great coverage of today’s meeting from @politico @leonardkl.

The get-together was arranged by Florida real-estate broker Steve Witkoff, several people confirmed to POLITICO. A Trump campaign official said it was a “good meeting set at the request of Gov. DeSantis.”
Three DeSantis donors texted POLITICO to say that they thought the move for the two men to make peace was “smart.”
DeSantis told his most loyal donors during a retreat in Hollywood this month that he would be fundraising for Trump’s campaign, POLITICO was first to report. The Republican governor proved himself to be a prodigious fundraiser during his 2022 reelection campaign, raising a record sum in excess of $200 million. He then parlayed much of that money toward a political action committee for a failed presidential run.
Imagine if Governor DeSantis raised money for a voter registration operation that helps elect President Trump.
DeSantis would go down in history as having helped save the country.

Whoever Trump picks, I’m happy with it.

Ron DeSantis meeting up with Donald Trump is a smart strategic move. Ron DeSantis needs Trump voters in 2028.
I wonder if VP is still on the table…

Lots and lots of handwringing over the Trump/DeSantis meeting.
It’s very simple for me. I trust DeSantis judgement and his reasoning. That’s it. End of story.

That pairing would get my money. I’d rather fight with my dollars now than deal with the hell Biden is going to unleash on us if he steals another one…. https://t.co/C9Gs6DlKfC

Supporters of both sides believe beating Biden is worth putting aside any hurt feelings during the primary.
I’m all for this. I would still love DeSantis to be the VP but I know the Florida issue makes it impossible. https://t.co/6GmRXZX5NY

Experts have said Trump could move his residency back to New York if this was a consideration, but that has not been confirmed.
* to clarify since it seems some people aren’t reading the full tweet. This has nothing to do with the VP role.
Fundraising for down ballot candidates.

This is an important note. While there is some wish casting this may be about a Vice Presidential spot, at the time, it seems it is solely about fundraising.
Wow! Maybe they will get together ….the way it should have been in the beginning. 😊

They are both alpha, so I’m not sure they would make the best team, but whatever gets president Trump into the WH 2024 is good for me.
