The Spin

Republican narrative

Trump and DeSantis have acted wisely in agreeing to set their differences aside and reunite ahead of the presidential election. More than anything, peace between the two most popular Republicans is great news for the GOP, especially as the party has been plagued with infighting and Democrats try to attract the support of Never Trump "Republicans in Name Only."

Democratic narrative

Even if DeSantis' presidential effort has failed, his donor network could undoubtedly make him an effective fundraiser for his one-time rival and former Pres. Donald Trump. The irony is that the Florida governor spoke against Republicans who bowed to Trump's loyalty demands a few months ago — he has now just done the same thing.
