Allies orchestrated the meeting, hoping for a potential détente between Trump and DeSantis. Trump’s advisers are particularly interested in DeSantis tapping into his extensive donor network to help raise significant sums of money for the upcoming general election. As the money chase continues, Trump and allied groups have lagged behind President Biden and his supporters. DeSantis, with his wide network of wealthy patrons, could play a crucial role in closing that gap.
The meeting was reportedly friendly, with DeSantis agreeing to assist Trump. For DeSantis, there is an incentive to form a closer relationship with the former president. As he eyes his political future, maintaining a strained relationship with Trump would be untenable. DeSantis had faced a shellacking by Trump during the primary, leaving him weakened among Republican donors and consultants.
The meeting was orchestrated by Steve Witkoff, a Florida real estate investor and developer known to both men. Witkoff facilitated the connection, calling Trump’s team and arranging the private meeting between the two political figures.

Thats good news as long as there are no hidden agendas. Falseness is something to stay clear off especially at a time as this. De Santes was always a hope that he could have been a great Vice President but after he ran Donald Trump and he’s supporters down the way he did he lost the respect of millions of Republicans and gained the respect of Democrates!!
