FLORIDA (FLV) – Former President Donald Trump did not rule out Gov. Ron DeSantis as a running mate for a possible 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump was asked in a Newsmax interview if he could envision a world where there is a Trump-DeSantis ticket in 2024.

“Well I get along with him,” Trump said. “I was very responsible for his success because I endorsed him and he went up like a rocket ship.”

Trump has not said whether he would launch a presidential campaign. 

“At the right time I’ll be saying what I want to do,” Trump said in the interview. 

Governor DeSantis has also been in the spotlight for a possible GOP candidate for president. When asked about the possibility, the governor has consistently said he is focused on seeking reelection in 2022. 

“I’m trying to think like, what is this obsession with 24? Like we don’t even have the 22 election,” DeSantis said July 23. “I think it’s because the media knows that the Democrats are going to get hammered in 2022. They don’t want to talk about it.”
