Former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis met Sunday morning in Miami, according to a source familiar with the meeting.
Why it matters: DeSantis is a prodigious fundraiser. Trump badly needs the cash in the general election against President Biden.
- The Washington Post was first to report on the meeting.
- DeSantis endorsed Trump in January after exiting the GOP primaries.
But just a few days later, DeSantis offered a string of criticisms of the former president, including:
- Hammered Trump’s handling of COVID.
- Said he’d spoken to many Iowa conservatives who couldn’t bring themselves to vote again for Trump.
- Said the media had propped up the “juggernaut” Trump in the primary and would flip on him.
Neither side immediately commented on the news.
