To: Macho MAGA Man

[Both Trump and DeSantis spoke on friendly terms, according to the Post’s sources, and DeSantis agreed to help the 45th President. Trump’s team is hopeful such assistance will include the Florida governor helping raise money for the campaign, which is lagging behind Biden in fundraising.

The meeting will also produce renewed speculation that Trump is looking at tapping DeSantis as his running mate. Trump previously suggested that the Florida governor was on the list of people he was considering.]


Choosing a bitter rival, often the runner-up, to unify the party is a long-standing tradition. Hence Reagan and Bush, JFK and LBJ. That Trump wasted so much time stomping on them post-primary instead of reconciling and smoothing over their differences is exceptional. Common in pro wrestling narratives, unusual in big league politics.

Both are citizens of Florida. The 12 Amendment to the Constitution would mean that the electors from Florida (a state that Trump will need) would be subject to being disqualified.
