Almost immediately after dropping out of the Republican presidential primary in January, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bent the knee to his subduer by endorsing former President Donald Trump. It was a humiliating end to a campaign that saw the onetime golden child of the GOP completely dominated in a bitter race filled with a never-ending parade of mocking slights and belittling attacks from his would-be predecessor.
The olive branch comes at an opportune time for Trump, given his campaign’s struggle to outraise President Joe Biden and the massive outflow of cash going toward his legal defense. The meeting came after weeks of negotiations between the camps courtesy of Steve Witkoff, a Florida real estate company owner with ties to both Republicans.
