Report: Trump and DeSantis Meet in Miami, Talk Fundraising

Paul Bois 28 Apr 2024

Former President Donald Trump and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly met in Miami on Sunday where they settled their political differences and discussed fundraising.

The former president and the Florida governor crossed swords this past primary when the two were competing for the coveted GOP presidential nomination, leading to some strain between the two campaigns’ supporters. Even though DeSantis ultimately dropped from the race and endorsed Trump, this marks the first time the two politicians have officially met to bridge the divide. The Hill reported:

    The hours-long meeting, brokered by political allies hoping to chill what was once a red-hot rivalry, resulted in DeSantis agreeing to help the former president.

    DeSantis’s network of donors and influence among notable conservatives wary of Trump could prove a major boon to the presumptive nominee’s campaign. Trump has consistently fallen behind President Biden in fundraising as the 2024 election nears.

    The men had reportedly not spoken since DeSantis dropped out of the GOP presidential race in January. DeSantis failed to capitalize on high expectations for his first national campaign, leaving the race after the Iowa caucuses. He endorsed Trump, who went on to defeat former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the primary.

Upon dropping from the race, DeSantis said that while he and the former president have their disagreements, he believed Trump would be better suited to lead the nation than Joe Biden.

“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said.

If Trump were wise he would have helped DeSantis into the oval office as much as possible. He was the one man who would have pardoned him. I'm not implying that Trump is guilty, but I just don't see how he's going to fare all the charges against him and it doesn't look like the SCOTUS is going to grant him full immunity.

Trump and DeSantis meet privately in Florida

Former president Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis met privately Sunday morning in Miami, according to people familiar with the matter, breaking a years-long chill between the presumptive Republican nominee and his onetime chief primary rival.

Allies brokered the meeting in hopes of a potential détente between the two men, and Trump’s advisers hope DeSantis will tap his donor network to help raise significant sums of money for the general election, the people familiar with the matter said. Like others interviewed for this story, the people spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations.

The pair met for several hours and DeSantis agreed to help Trump. The meeting was friendly, according to a person with direct knowledge.

Trump and allied groups have lagged behind President Biden and his allies in the money chase. DeSantis has built a wide network of wealthy patrons whose assistance would be valuable in helping Trump try to close the gap, and is popular with some Republican voters who are exhausted by Trump.

There is an incentive for DeSantis to form a closer relationship, as well. People close to DeSantis have said it is untenable for him to continue to have a strained relationship with Trump, particularly as he eyes his political future. He is widely viewed among Republican donors and consultants as weakened after a shellacking by Trump in the primary.................

Not gonna happen, they would lose Florida's electoral college votes. I see this as simple politics with DeSantis positioning himself favorably with Trump voters for his next run. personally I think it's a wasted move because Trump is like the snake in this song.

The meeting was requested by DeSantis because he knows he's got some repair work ahead of him.  Ronny's more than likely maneuvering for a prime time slot at the convention ----- not quite sure what his bartering chip could be, even for this somewhat embarrassing request.

From the article….

Upon dropping from the race, DeSantis said that while he and the former president have their disagreements, he believed Trump would be better suited to lead the nation than Joe Biden.


Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, for the most part,  share the same economic, fiscal, and monetary policy. Which means inflation is going to continue, regardless of who wins.

The only issue that there’s a wide gulf between Trump and Biden is on the border

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

So that GOPe/Trump delegates can boo him?  I seriously doubt that.  More likely, Trump requested the meeting to gain access to DeSantis donors.  Trump doesn't have anything that DeSantis would want.

Actually, the request coming from DeSantis isn't speculation.  Apparently, Ronny has come to appreciate the magnitude of the mistake he made this year and understands what he needs to do.

Judging by the article it appear the Trump is wanting $$ and hoping to tap some of DeSantis' donors with his help.

I definitely don't see that as DeSantis trying to position himself for '28 or the VP slot.  DeSantis as VP - No.  Definitely not!!

Let's see .... in 4 years DeSantis will be 49 and Trump will be 81. Just sayin'   DeSantis isn't afraid of Trump....DeSantis could have easily turned the tables on Trump due to his age and becoming unhinged, but he's much wiser and smarter than that.

Whether DeSantis will run or not in '28 is pure speculation at this point.  Who knows what another 4 years of Biden or Trump will bring us.

IMHO Biden and Trump's ace in the hole is who they select for VP -- more so Biden than Trump. If Biden selects a well known formidable VP, Trump isn't going to know what hit him.  Further, I still expect either Biden stepping down at the convention or the DNC selecting someone other than Biden.  Perhaps that's why Trump is patiently waiting to select his VP.
