Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump recently met in private in Miami to “bury the hatchet,” according to sources. The meeting, which took place on Sunday morning, April 28, was reportedly arranged by real estate investor Steve Witkoff.
This meeting comes after a contentious GOP primary where Trump had the upper hand over DeSantis. Despite DeSantis previously criticizing Trump for running on personal issues, he ultimately endorsed the former president after dropping out of the race.
During the Republican contest, DeSantis had criticized Trump for focusing on personal matters rather than the issues facing the American people. However, he later changed his tune and threw his support behind Trump, stating that a majority of Republican primary voters wanted to give Trump another chance.
The meeting between DeSantis and Trump was said to have taken place over breakfast while DeSantis was playing golf at Shell Bay Club. The two men reportedly discussed their differences and sought to mend their relationship moving forward.
The private meeting between DeSantis and Trump has sparked speculation about the future of their relationship and potential collaborations in the political arena. As the two influential figures in the Republican party, their reconciliation could have significant implications for the party’s future direction.
