Ron DeSantis Is ‘Begging’ Trump for an Appointment

Axios reports DeSantis wants a Trump appointment after his term ends, with sources saying he has sought attorney general, Pentagon, or Supreme Court roles.

  • On Tuesday, term-limited Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly sought a role in President Donald Trump's administration as his second gubernatorial term concludes. Sources indicate the two discussed potential appointments during recent meetings.
  • Following their 2024 presidential primary rivalry, Trump and DeSantis have mended relations significantly. DeSantis, who is "looking for what to do next," discussed possible roles during a recent lunch at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami.
  • While reports claim DeSantis discussed the Attorney General position, sources suggest he prefers leading the Pentagon or joining the Supreme Court. Trump wants acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to "show what he can do" first.
  • DeSantis spokesperson Alex Lanfranconi stated the governor "enjoys a great relationship with President Trump" and attempted to tamp down speculation. Observers continue speculating about a Supreme Court nomination, noting his close ties to Justice Clarence Thomas.
  • State law prohibits a third gubernatorial term, forcing DeSantis to leave office in January 2027. Observers note returning to Congress would be a significant step down from governing Florida's third most populous state.
