Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley take different approaches to Donald Trump after losing the Republican nomination.
If DeSantis helps boost Trump’s fundraising for the fall campaign, it could have major 2028 implications, especially if Haley remains on the sidelines through November.
Haley’s approach kept her from suffering the fate of more overtly anti-Trump candidates, such as former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, buton her level of support in a Republican primary. She won only Washington, D.C., and Vermont. DeSantis campaigned in a way that kept him firmly in second place for almost a year until a distant second-place showing in Iowa wasn’t enough to keep him from falling behind Haley elsewhere.
DeSantis could also take a breakfast meeting with Trump and do little else. He and Haley both have been on the receiving end of Trump attacks that could make them reluctant to help much now.
