Former President Donald Trump met privately over breakfast with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday, according to six sources familiar. The meeting was described as 'nice' and 'friendly' by one of the sources, who added that DeSantis plans to help raise money for Trump. A separate source said that the meeting was mutually agreed upon and arranged by Steven Witkoff, the chairman of a real estate company, a mutual contact of the two men.
Sunday's meeting comes after DeSantis told donors and supporters during a private retreat in April that he planned to help raise money for the former president's campaign, as NBC News first reported. Just months ago, DeSantis slammed Trump during the bitter Republican primary contest, referring to the former president as a candidate running on personal issues.
