The move was made following a private meeting between the two in Florida over the weekend.
According to the New York Post, sources familiar with the matter said that Trump and DeSantis met in Miami on Sunday and came away after several hours with an agreement that the latter would help gin up support for the former in the Sunshine state.
The meeting was set up by Florida real estate mogul and mutual friend of both men Steve Witkoff. Unlike many of the pair's interactions over the past year, it was described as an overall friendly event.
