Florida Politics reports:

Ron DeSantis, who ran a challenge to Donald Trump from the right before endorsing the former President in January, addressed the RNC crowd Tuesday, directly after his fellow challenger and Primary rival, Nikki Haley. “Let’s send Joe Biden back to his basement and let’s send Donald Trump back to the White House,” DeSantis said to cheers, eliciting a smile from Trump.
