It's the first meeting between the two men since Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ended his 2024 presidential challenge against former President Trump.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis met privately with former President Donald Trump for several hours on Sunday morning to talk, in part, about fundraising ahead of the 2024 general election, several sources familiar with the meeting tell CBS News. The meeting was made at the request of DeSantis, according to a senior Trump source with knowledge of the meeting. It was arranged by real estate investor and longtime Trump donor Steve Witkoff. The meeting was first reported by the Washington Post.
The Republican primary was particularly hostile between the two men and their campaigns, though Trump easily won the Republican nomination. But DeSantis' fundraising network could be useful for the former president, who has lagged his general election opponent, President Joe Biden, in fundraising. At an April donor retreat in Florida, DeSantis told attendees he'd help fundraise for Trump and Republicans 'up and down the ballot,' according to a fundraiser who attended the retreat.
