It was once believed thatformer President Donald TrumpandFlorida Governor Ron DeSantiswere friends.
That is until the then-president gave his support to DeSantis.
Suddenly, he was up 12 points in the polls and would go on to win the race.

However, there is more than just COVID-19 disagreement between the pair.
It seems the rivalry is heating up as the election draws closer.
DeSantis is not one of those Republicans.

It seems more obvious than ever that DeSantis will be running and Trump isn’t happy about it.
DeSantis and Trump are among the two most popular Republicans and share the same base (viaAxios).
Republican donor Dan Eberhart shared that DeSantis would be the perfect candidate if Trump doesn’t run.
The Republican primary race is going to be one to watch!
