The Trump-DeSantis Alliance: Unlikely to Happen.

Former President Donald Trump has declared that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is "very unlikely" to become his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, despite endorsing him in 2018. Trump has also repeated his criticisms of DeSantis, claiming that he "can't win" a national election due to his record on issues such as Social Security, Medicare, education, and COVID-19. Trump's campaign has also reportedly blackballed DeSantis staffers, while DeSantis insiders are concerned that Trump's attacks are taking a toll on the governor's popularity. Recent polls show Trump trouncing DeSantis among Republican primary voters.
