Nonetheless, it was notable at Sunday's rally in New Hampshire to see Trump praise DeSantis without calling him “DeSantimonious” or “DeSanctus,” putting an end to perhaps the most bitter rivalry of Republicans' 2024 campaign.
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said, offering matter-of-fact analysis through a forced smile without adding plaudits for Trump.
It's not easy.”Brenda Moneypenny, a 64-year-old from Alton, waited in the cold for two hours to see Trump on Sunday night.
Trump endorsed DeSantis, then a congressman, in a competitive 2018 GOP primary for Florida governor.
“I endorsed him, and he became a rocket ship in 24 hours,” Trump said, claiming that DeSantis had begged for his endorsement.
