DeSantis to support Trump in upcoming campaign after meeting in Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to campaign for former President Donald Trump after the two met in Florida, according to sources familiar with the matter. The meeting between DeSantis and Trump has sparked speculation about DeSantis’ political future and his potential role in the 2024 presidential election.

DeSantis, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump throughout his presidency, is considered a rising star in the Republican Party. His handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as his strong conservative policies, has endeared him to many Republican voters both in Florida and across the country.

During their meeting, which took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, the two reportedly discussed a variety of topics, including the future of the Republican Party and the 2024 presidential election. Sources close to the governor have indicated that DeSantis is considering a run for president in 2024, and that Trump has offered his support.

If DeSantis were to run for president in 2024, he would likely face a crowded field of potential candidates, including former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Senator Ted Cruz. However, DeSantis’ close ties to Trump and his popularity among Republican voters could give him an edge in the race.

While DeSantis has not officially declared his candidacy for president in 2024, his meeting with Trump has fueled speculation that he is seriously considering a run. If he were to enter the race, DeSantis would likely run on a platform of conservative values, including lower taxes, reduced government spending, and strong support for law enforcement.

DeSantis’ handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida has also garnered national attention, with many Republicans praising his decision to keep the state open during the height of the pandemic. While DeSantis has faced criticism from some Democrats and public health officials for his handling of the pandemic, his approval ratings among Republican voters remain high.

As DeSantis weighs his political future, his meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago has raised questions about the former president’s own plans for 2024. While Trump has not yet announced whether he will run for president again, many of his supporters have indicated that they would like to see him run.

Regardless of whether Trump decides to run for president in 2024, his endorsement could be a major boost for any candidate seeking the Republican nomination. Trump remains popular among Republican voters, and his support could help propel a candidate like DeSantis to victory in the primaries.

For now, DeSantis is focused on his re-election campaign for governor of Florida in 2022. However, his meeting with Trump and the speculation about his potential run for president in 2024 have kept political observers on both sides of the aisle watching closely to see what the future holds for the rising star of the Republican Party.
