"Trump steals the spotlight from DeSantis on his own turf"

Former President Donald Trump and his allies have outflanked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the lead-up to the "Florida Freedom Summit," where both Republican presidential hopefuls appeared. Trump's flexing of his influence, including flipping endorsements from DeSantis to himself, has raised doubts about DeSantis' chances against the man who helped him win the governorship. DeSantis has failed to meet the high expectations set for him, while Trump continues to dominate the GOP field in national and early state polling. Despite the attention from Trump's camp, DeSantis remains focused on his campaign strategy and endorsements from state legislators.
