DES MOINES, Iowa — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is gearing up to lend a financial hand to former President Donald Trump, marking a significant shift in their political relationship, according to AP sources.
Two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on anonymity, disclosed that DeSantis is set to start fundraising efforts for Trump in the upcoming weeks, aligning with his pledge made during a recent meeting with the former president.

PING!
Kock is bad for the country.
I really think that the ‘feud’ between them back in the primaries was a ‘put on’.............
Is he the surprise pick ?
I doubt it....but who knows? 🤷
the ‘feud’ between them
Could be all Performance Art, where there’s no such thing as Bad Press
DeSantis could still end up as VP, stranger things have happened
Half of it was the dispicable media looking to decide and conquer.......and a whole lot of knuckleheads right on this forum took the bait hook line and sinker.
If Trump is popular, they will all fall in line, like they did with Reagan, even though the Republican establishment still despised him deep down.
When you're campaigning, it always is.
Why would POTUS Trump continue to prop up DeSantis? This appears tobe a Reagan - Bush repeat and that is not good at all!!
“Too many “Never Trumpers” in DeSantis’ inner circle in an official capacity”
Really.....how about being a little more specific....would you mind naming a few?
I’d really be interested to hear who they are.
This will be the VP I bet. What better way to shore up all Republican support. Lots of establishment types with money backed Ron. I like Ron, just don’t think he should have run this year, could have been a fake run, but either way, he has run FL mostly the way we would want the country run.
I’ve lived here for 85% of my life and seen many governors come and go.....he is in the top 2 or 3 IMO.
Glad this circular firing squad has been disbanded.
Didn’t support DeSantis as a presidential candidate. But, I’ve lived in Florida for 65+ years. He’s been one of our best governors in my lifetime.
Trump does appear to me to have a personality quirk. He’s ruthless in competition. But, magnanimous in victory. Perhaps too much so sometimes.
“DeSantis appears to be extending an olive branch by leveraging his extensive fundraising network...”
Humility that Trump would be well served to emulate.....but I wonder if he really has it in him.
Flush out your head gear new guy......your out in left field.
DeSantis is the Reagan in the scenario. DeSantis is way more conservative than trump. Trump is a populist which is fine.
