Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to address former President Donald Trump’s nominating convention next week, marking a shift from earlier expectations. DeSantis' speaking role at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was confirmed by a source familiar with the schedule. Despite past tensions, Trump and DeSantis have sought to mend their relationship for mutual benefit.
Unlike Ted Cruz, who faced backlash for not endorsing Trump at the 2016 convention, DeSantis swiftly backed Trump after the primaries. DeSantis was already scheduled to be in Milwaukee for other events during the convention, including a town hall and a governors' gathering.
