Matt Dixon is a senior national politics reporter for NBC News, based in Florida.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told donors and supporters at a private retreat last weekend that he plans to help raise money for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to three sources familiar with the matter. DeSantis told his allies about the move to help Trump during a private gathering on Saturday at South Florida’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, these people explained. “He did say it in front of a group of people at the Hard Rock,” a DeSantis adviser told NBC News.
A Trump campaign adviser said they were not aware that DeSantis was going to start raising money from them but added that “everyone should be working towards defeating Joe Biden and electing President Trump.” DeSantis’ donor retreat happened on the same day as Trump’s biggest fundraiser of the cycle; the campaign said it raised $50.5 million. The two men were longtime political allies after Trump’s endorsement helped DeSantis become governor in 2018.
