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.

I mentioned before how the govt foisted electric buses on a particular school bus company in SW Pa. that provides contract services to several school districts. The company received absolutely no information or training on how to maintain the vehicles - it was just "here are your electric buses, you have to use them, have fun." I guess they're scrambling in the garage to figure out what to do with them. Meanwhile, they're expected to take these things over the hilly, winding roads of rural communities in all types of weather.

100's? I live in this area and my anecdotal observations are that it's more likely a few dozen who are affected.
The last study on ridership that I could find was done in 2012. There, they claimed 11k per day across all routes.
Oh, and you'll be glad to know that out of a total budget of ~$25M the feds subsidize this one by about $8M annually.
