Details are emerging from Sunday’s meeting in Miami of presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In the latest sign of rapprochement between the two after DeSantis withdrew from the presidential race in January after the Iowa caucuses, a key Trump advisor who helped the Governor get elected in 2018 characterized the meeting as friendly and substantive, with DeSantis offering assistance on the road to November.
“The meeting was fine, went long, ended with a handshake. They discussed the full range of policy issues and politics, too. Ron’s role in the campaign is yet to be determined, but he was clear that he wanted to help in every way he could,” asserted Susie Wiles Sunday to Florida Politics.
DeSantis endorsed Trump when he announced his exit from the presidential race, but hasn’t avoided tweaking the former President, including a recent call to reporters to ask Trump what he thinks about the state’s abortion law, which Trump criticized when DeSantis was still an opponent.
Meanwhile, polling has shown DeSantis topping preferences as Trump’s running mate, despite DeSantis repeatedly ruling out being the former President’s ticket mate.
“Would you take it if it were offered to you? I don’t think I would be good at it and I think I’m probably, you know, more valuable doing other things,” he said during an Outkick interview last year, noting that “doing No. 2” just “doesn’t appeal” to him.
DeSantis also pushed back against a CFO Jimmy Patronis-backed proposal to provide up to $5 million from a fund that gives public money to qualified statewide candidates to a Florida resident who is “subject to political discrimination to pay for legal fees,” leading to the legislation being withdrawn soon after it was filed.

Still can’t see DeSantis really being Trump’s running mate.
He could offer a cabinet post, but if Trump wins, that means DeSantis has to give up being governor to take it. Unless he says such and such position will come up in 2029 for you?
True, DeSantis cannot run again for gov. in 2028, but he might want to run for FL Senator or representative.
Personally, I would just go with book deals, and teaching college courses, not like he is likely to ever want for money, though I sure hope he has great financial advice.
Maybe he should just learn to play guitar and sing in a rock band.
He’d probably be happier than he is now.

He’s out in Florida in 2026 so a cabinet position might be useful to keep his name in the press until 28 maybe but two narcissists like them would never play well together as President and VP.
I am always amazed with trump that he can insult people and they just turn into fawning sycophants afterwards. How can such a deeply flawed individual inspire any type of loyalty?

This primary was dumb. There were no debates. Desantis was never allowed to compete. Trump did not win the last election and other candidates should have been allowed to compete. Trump also was unfair in his criticisms of Desantis. However, at the end of the day, both Desantis and Trump are very similar in agendas and they should come together. Trump won so he has a duty to repair because he needs things from Desantis in the current election. Its time to come together.

Reagan and Bush Sr. did make a fine team, even though the latter had nailed Reagan’s economic plans as “voodoo.”
But, the two kissed and made up because they both wanted to cut their own taxes, lowering axes for the very wealthy TWICE from the highest rate of 80% to 50%, and then down again to 37%.

Setting aside that pesky little Constitutional issue prohibiting a president and vice-president from the same state, one would hope that Rhonda would perform as well as they did in Iowa to the tune of a mere $160 million.
Of course, both of these Floridians stopped caring about the Constitution and precedent when they took office. But I do see “Never Back Down” Rhonda prostating themself in front of Trump for more humiliation, saying “more, please, sir.”

Nice reads on Florida politics.
I would have never thought to tweet on politics.
Politics is never a subject to disclose, discloser is like two bishops in the ring boxing.
Good luck I hope we all do the Roosevelt thing and get back on track and turn it all around. .

That bit at the end about Patronis’ effort to help Trump pay his legal bills with Florida state funds is so outrageous. These folks are all filthy rich (except for Rudy Giuliani), they can damn well afford their own attorneys fees especially for tax evasion, or whore hush money, or allegations of sexual battery. Good for Desantis to “push back” against the grifter and his little Maga Patronis.

“The meeting was fine, went long, ended with a handshake.” But not the handjob Trump was expecting, so still another meeting or two to go before all is forgiven.
