That is clear,&#8221; DeSantis said then, to which Trump later responded, &#8220;I appreciate that, and I also look forward to working with Ron.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, DeSantis privately signaled that he planned to fundraise for the former president&#8217;s 2024 effort at a donor retreat, a source confirmed to ABC News.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
