President-elect Donald Trump has mended his relationship with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) despite an extremely fraught 2024 primary race.

Trump met with DeSantis in recent days and is reportedly considering him as a potential nominee to lead the Pentagon should Fox News host Pete Hegseth fail the confirmation process in the Senate. The two leaders were among a group of Florida Republicans in attendance at a memorial service over the weekend honoring three Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies killed in a traffic accident last month.
