Florida Governor Ron DeSantis thanked some of his South Florida donors at a closed-door meeting in Miami on Sunday, sidestepping any mention of Donald Trump and any possible plans to run for president.
It was the first time DeSantis, 44, had met with a large group of donors since his decisive re-election victory in November.
The governor’s speech, which lasted less than 30 minutes, focused on the scope of his re-election win, touting in particular his showing in traditional Democratic strongholds such as Miami-Dade County, according to six people who were present. DeSantis noted how his victory could be a blueprint for Republicans in the future.
