Longtime Trump Backers Flock to DeSantis Event

“The group of Ron DeSantis’ high donors and supporters gathering in Palm Seaside, Fla., this weekend contains some longtime backers of former President Donald Trump,” Politico stories.

“The Florida governor’s three-day retreat on the 4 Seasons resort — simply 4 miles down the street from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property — kicked off Friday night with a cocktail reception and dinner for the roughly 150 attendees. The occasion, billed as a celebration of the “Florida blueprint,” precedes a possible DeSantis presidential bid that will pit him towards Trump. And the roster of individuals there exhibits that the governor is interesting to main GOP figures who’ve beforehand aligned themselves with the previous president.”
