Ron DeSantis Reportedly Ready To Do What He Mocked Others For After Trump Meeting
HuffPost
The Florida governor met with his one-time rival over the weekend, according to reports.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who once mocked Republicans who “kiss the ring” to stay in Donald Trump’s good graces, is reportedly ready to do that himself after meeting with the former president on Sunday.
The Washington Post said it was friendly, lasted several hours and ended with DeSantis agreeing to help Trump. The former president’s team is looking for DeSantis to get his donors to open their wallets for the Trump campaign, which has been struggling to raise money.
Florida real estate investor Steve Witkoff arranged the meeting and attended, according to the Post.
NBC News said DeSantis reached out to Trump’s team several weeks ago to arrange the meeting and discuss fundraising.
Once close allies, the two became bitter rivals when DeSantis challenged Trump for the Republican nomination.
