WASHINGTON _ Donald Trump did everything Ron DeSantis asked.
The president sent word to some of his wealthy Palm Beach friends to steer donations to DeSantis' campaign for Florida governor. He allowed the DeSantis campaign to send text messages in his name to Trump supporters in Florida who failed to vote early. And he agreed, just in the last few days, to touch down in Florida one last time before Election Day on his way back from a campaign stop in Montana Saturday.
Since DeSantis won the Republican primary two months ago following Trump's endorsement, the two men have spoken by phone half a dozen times, including before both debates between DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum.
