DeSantis is a strategic idiot. He could have backed Trump, remained Gov for 4 more years and then become the heir-apparent after Trump leaves office. This way, he’ll lose fair and square, and will always be looked at as a loser that chased his own political aspirations at the expense of his constituents in Florida.

It didn’t hurt Reagan one bit to run against Ford in the 1976 primary. It gave him national exposure and set the stage for his victory in 1980 .
One can only surmise from the constant attacks on DeSantis from Trump supporters here is that they greatly fear DeSantis defeating Trump in the upcoming primary. Otherwise, they’d pay him no attention.
