Trump and DeSantis Put Primary Fight Behind Them

May 23, 2024 · 5:27 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are signaling to donors that they are putting their rivalry behind them after a contentious and often personal primary fight,” the AP reports.

“DeSantis convened his allies this week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to press them to raise money to support Trump, making the case over a seafood and steak dinner that they need to work together to prevent Democratic President Joe Biden from winning a second term.“

“Trump called into the gathering to thank members of the group for their work.”

Trump praised DeSantis and the effort, saying: Ron, I love that you’re back.”
