It has been revealed that Ron DeSantis is expected to campaign for Donald Trump in the remaining few months before the 2024 election, with the pair appearing to have put the past behind them to come together and try to ensure a Republican victory. 

The move was made following a private meeting between the two in Florida over the weekend. 

According to the New York Post, sources familiar with the matter said that Trump and DeSantis met in Miami on Sunday and came away after several hours with an agreement that the latter would help gin up support for the former in the Sunshine state. 

The meeting was set up by Florida real estate mogul and mutual friend of both men Steve Witkoff. Unlike many of the pair's interactions over the past year, it was described as an overall friendly event.  

As the Post reports, it was the first time Trump and DeSantis had spoken to one another since the latter dropped out of the Republican primary race and endorsed the former. 

"It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance," DeSantis said at the time. "They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him." 

The Florida governor went on to note that while he had disagreed with Trump over issues such as the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and "elevation of Anthony Fauci," the former president was nonetheless "superior" to Joe Biden. 

"I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge," he continued. "He has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear." 

During the primary campaign, Trump and DeSantis went back and forth. DeSantis was seen as Trump’s main rival, with the former president often calling him Ron "DeSanctimonious." Even after Trump’s endorsement in January, the two politicians' teams fought with one another.
