Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told donors and supporters at a private retreat last weekend that he plans to help raise money for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

“He did say it in front of a group of people at the Hard Rock,” a DeSantis adviser told NBC News.

A Trump campaign adviser said they were not aware that DeSantis was going to start raising money from them but added that “everyone should be working towards defeating Joe Biden and electing President Trump.”

LOL....No...

If desanctus had said this, he would have prominantly said he was fundraising for Trump when he was interviewed by Maria Bartimona on sunday morning futures....

If anything, desanctimonious would say

"I'm now fundraising for Mr Trump. And I guarentee that one onehundred percent of the funds raised will go to Trump"

and pocket the 99% for himself..

Florida deeply appreciates Gov. Ron DeSantis.

I personally agree with the Trump campaign adviser that
said: “everyone should be working towards defeating Joe Biden and electing President Trump.”

His globalist masters want DeSantis to help Trump get elected.

Would he be a good atty. gen. in Trumps admin? The bad guys are the illegals and then Mayorkas. Something tells me the Biden people would be left alone. Gentleman’s agreement the left doesn’t live by.

““I will follow the governor's lead and I will do anything that he or President Trump ask me to do to help him win this election,” Bailey said.”

Republican Party members seem to be coming together nicely after a spirited primary contest.

That is important because in both 2016 and 2020 the Republican national ticket just squeaked by in Florida.

We can not afford another weak national ticket under-performance in Florida in 2024.

My expectation is that Governor DeSantis and his supporters intend to work to ensure the national "R" ticket explodes across the finish line much like DeSantis did in 2022 with over 59 percent of the vote.

Your credibility as an actual Trump supporter would improve if you would learn how to spell Gov. DeSantis's last name.

As is, troll-boy, you give yourself away as nothing more than a troll and an agent provocateur for the democrat party ... you also give yourself away as having some sort of mental defect.

Stop, this reaction is why we lose elections, we conservatives spend more time attacking each other than the left and Dems, they close ranks and we wonder why we are not in power, DeSantis raising money is a good thing, I can’t beleive how mnay of my fellow Trumpers talk a good game but they themselves have never given the Trump campaign a dime

“Nothing wrong with him raising money for Trump.”

Oh. Yeah. He’s raising money for Trump

So much naïveté these days at FR

The source is already trying to downplay it saying that DeSantis had offered to support “Republicans up and down the ballot” including “presidential candidates.” They can’t say the name Trump.

But Trump is going to hold DeSantis to it and saying he hears DeSantis is going to campaign “VERY HARD” for him and “raise A LOT of money” for him.

Time to put up or shut up, Ron.

DeSantis may have ulterior motives, but that’s okay. If helping Trump helps rehabilitate his image then that’s fine. Trump is a gracious winner and will likely accept his support. But that doesn’t change who DeSantis is. If he wants to get on the team and help out, that’s fine. But would I ever trust him to be president? Not a chance. Even RINOs can help out if they know their place. But putting them in charge is a big mistake.

As I pointed out in the opening comment-

If desanctimonious had actually, really meant he was going to actively do fundraising for Trump,

he would have been pushing it when he was on with Maria, and been able to get extensive national exposure with that revelation...

Instead, it’s half a week after the meeting, and it’s it’s not coming from the media attention seeking desantis, during a press conference...

So no, desanctus doesn’t really plan on doing any fundraising for Trump

The story is all over the news - conservative and liberal outlets. So you believe DeSantis was lying to the group of donors the Hard Rock?

Unlike Pence, DeSantis is proving to be a team player.

Trolls don’t think ... trolls just regurgitate what their masters tell them to regurgitate.
