WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Former president Donald Trump says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis "would be considered" as a 2024 running mate.
According to WKMG-TV in Orlando, Trump made the comments during an interview Thursday morning with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News. Trump said he's thinking about another White House run and called DeSantis a "friend," and a "great guy."
Trump also said DeSantis has done a great job as governor, a job that Trump said he helped DeSantis win in 2018. “I endorsed Ron and after I endorsed him he took off like a rocket ship,” Trump said, as reported by WKMG-TV.
