Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former President Donald Trump both headlined pre-election rallies in Florida on Sunday, but separately. Trump effusively praised Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) during his 90-minute speech in Miami, mentioning DeSantis only once when he told the crowd they are going to reelect him as governor on Tuesday. DeSantis didn't mention Trump at all during his Sunday events.
Trump, by all accounts preparing to announce another run for the White House, reportedly sees DeSantis as his biggest rival for the 2024 GOP nomination. At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, Trump tested out a new nickname: "Ron DeSanctimonous."
