Miami Beach, FL (NewsNation) — The relationship between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remains fractured following a contentious 2024 presidential battle.

At a press conference Wednesday morning, DeSantis sounded unlikely to campaign for Trump. When asked by NewsNation’s Libbey Dean if he would join the presumptive GOP nominee on the trail, DeSantis was hesitant to commit.

The governor’s reasoning: Florida isn’t “competitive” enough for him to stump for Trump.

“This is not going to be a state that’s competitive in November,” DeSantis said at a news conference. “So, I don’t anticipate there being much campaign here for the top of the ticket.” DeSantis added that would like to “help nationally,” but questioned exactly how he would do that.

By the way, the question wasn’t about Florida. The question was the campaign trail, the answer should have been yes or anything I can do to help I am available.

Nothing wrong with that. He has a job to do — which he should have been doing all along.

He’s a terrible campaigner, too.

Trump needs to campaign for RDS to declare an Invasion and repel the boarders from Fla.

Yup—imagine this was a Democratic governor being asked if they would campaign for Biden.

Even if they hated Biden’s guts they would be gushing with enthusiasm for the camera.

“I am there for him—anywhere, anytime the campaign needs me.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They say that like it’s a bad thing.

Can’t blame him. DeSantis dropped out and endorsed Trump and Trump continues to attack him.

DeSantis needs to remain in Florida and do the job he promised his supporters that he would do, but refused to do, because he was flitting around the country, running for an office he’ll never win. He needs to finish his term, and then disappear. I don’t think he wants to be embarrassed again, by not even being able to carry his own State.

See post 6.

You know it is true.

[dforest]

Fine. Whatever he wants to do.

[JoSixChip]

Ya don’t say. desanctomonious is butt hurt because he now knows he completely blew any chance of ever being elected to anything ever again. After stabbing Trump in the back, he might as well go back to being the slimy lawyers he was.

[Drew68]

Can’t say I blame him. Doesn’t really matter. Don’t care. Trump will win Florida handily. Not by the 20 points that DeSantis won it by but he’ll win it nonetheless.

[dforest]

I never see Trump attack RDS at all anymore. Some of you just can’t get over it and continue the gaslighting.

[GulliverSwift]

Crybaby Rhonda crying some more.

[JoSixChip]

DeSantis dropped out and endorsed Trump and Trump continues to attack him.

Oh please, that didn't qualify as even a half assed endorsement. desanctomonious is finished in politics unless he completes his transition to a leftest.

Trump was great in 2016. Even if Trump wins this time, he'll be a lame duck immediately with only four years while we could have gotten eight years out of DeSantis.

[MtnClimber]

Yes, DeSantis could position himself well for 2028 by campaigning for Trump. If he refuses, he is shooting himself in the foot after taking careful aim.

No one can take 8 minutes of desanctomonious, much less 8 years. Good riddance to that loser.
