Trump didn't invite Ron DeSantis to a Florida rally the former President in holding days before the midterm elections as the two prepare for a possible 2024 face off. See potential bias and similarities in coverage from dcexaminer, CNN, and Newsweek:
Neither former President Donald Trump nor Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have formally announced a bid for the Republican nomination in the 2024 Presidential Election, but a growing division between the two Republican stars is leading many across the spectrum to predict both sides are preparing for a face off. The most recent sign of growing animosity came when Trump announced he would hold a rally in Florida days before the midterm elections, inviting Sen. Marco Rubio but not DeSantis.
” The Washington Examiner quoted Spiro Kiousis, the executive associate dean at the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, assessing the relationship of the 2024 potentials, saying “they have both been sort of mutually keeping an eye on each other, but no one's really made any sort of move yet.”Trump endorsed DeSantis in the 2018 Florida Gubernatorial race, which DeSantis narrowly won. Should Trump decide to run, he would be the favorite for the nomination.
