Former President Trump dismissed rumors of a feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seen as a potential contender to become Republican’s 2024 presidential nominee, telling reporters on Wednesday that he has “ a very good relationship” with the Florida Republican.
His comments come in the wake of a recent Axios report stating that Trump has privately told confidants the Florida Governor has a “dull personality” and would face an uphill climb in beating him in a primary. Recent surveys show DeSantis has recently seen an uptick in the polls in a hypothetical 2024 primary, tightening the margin between a potential showdown between him and the former president.

“Is it true that a Trump/DeSantis ticket can’t happen because they are both FL and the Constitution prohibits that?”
No it isn’t true.
If both of them are from Florida then the electoral votes can’t go to them. That’s the Constitutional part.
Trump would change his address to New Jersey (See Cheney in 2000) and “Presto” Constitutional compliance has been met.
It really isn’t much of a hurdle.
Trump/DeSantis 2024
Trump/DeSantis 2024!
Trump/DeSantis 2024!
Trump/DeSantis 2024!
Yeah, yeah...
He said the same thing about Fauci.
No Pompeo. Turn coat. Trump/ DeSantis, then DeSantis can run for President when Trump is too old or dead.
Pompeo turncoat?? Ridiculous.
Yeah we have a great relationship but of course he'd still be a piss-ant if it wasn't for me.
I'm sure DeSantis was extremely flattered by the remarks. /S
it’s not pointless...
desantis is running for reelection for florida governor this year...
people are too focused on 2024 to realize this...
If you want a safe haven in a free Florida, keep your frigan hands off DeSantis.
The so-called feud is a win, win, win.
It gives DeSantis the appearance of a backbone.
It keeps Trump in the news as the candidate to be reckoned with.
And the mere mention of Trump in any media format brings eyeballs to the the Fake News Media.
WTF you going on about? lmao
Trump DeSantis
DeSantis Trump
2024 I’m good either way:-)
They make crap up like this because they know DeSantis would be the better candidate for them. They would rather see DeSantis get the nod than Trump.
Taking DeSantis away from Florida and making him Trumps VP.
Technically, both people on the ticket can be from the same state. There’s no rule against it. But there is a rule that an elector can’t vote for two candidates both from the elector’s state, so if Trump and Desantis are both Floridians, then Florida’s electoral votes can’t got to both. In a race where FL’s electoral votes are greater than or equal to the margin of victory, this could cause the Dem VP candidate to be elected along with Trump.
I understand how easy it was for Dick Cheney to become a Wyoming guy again. No one cared. But does Trump say he’s a New Yorker again just to accommodate someone else on the ticket? That seems like a distinctly non-Trump-like to do. Does Desantis say he’s not a Floridian? Desantis is a native of the state and is governor, so it would be kind of weird for him to abandon the state.
Oh, ic. hehe, my bad.
Not at all. Thanks for letting me clarify.
But it's not ridiculous to say Trump is from New York, he is. Wasn't his home state New York in 2016? I assume he would run as a New Yorker, if he ran again, anyway. He's lived his whole life in the City, and never been ashamed of it. I think he only made his residence Florida for legal reasons.
