ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 With his term coming to an end, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has reportedly looked to President Trump for a position in his administration, according to Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an article on Tuesday, Axios claimed that Trump told confidants DeSantis was \u201cbegging\u201d to be attorney general.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeSantis also has expressed interest in being secretary of defense and even a spot on the U.S. Supreme Court, according to six sources briefed on the discussions,\u201d the article reads.<\/p>\n

Regardless, DeSantis has less than a year left in his term as governor, and there\u2019s been plenty of speculation about what he plans to do next.<\/p>\n

In an interview last month<\/a>, DeSantis considered the possibility of running for the presidency yet again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that in \u201824, like, in Iowa, the people that voted for Trump, if he wasn\u2019t running, I would\u2019ve gotten like 90% of those people. They were conservative voters, right? They didn\u2019t want the non-conservative \u2014 they wanted me. But the timing didn\u2019t work out, obviously.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis threw his hat in for president during the 2024 election cycle, running against President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n

But his campaign faced significant hurdles from the get-go, and he ultimately bowed out<\/a> to endorse Trump instead.<\/p>\n

That said, DeSantis and Trump clashed often during their roughly eight-month election standoff, with Trump nicknaming the governor \u201cDeSanctimonious\u201d and DeSantis responding in kind by calling Trump \u201cjuvenile.\u201d<\/p>\n

But over two years later, Trump may be considering taking DeSantis into his fold.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to NewsNation White House Correspondent Libbey Dean, who discussed her recent conversation with Trump regarding DeSantis.<\/p>\n

When asked by Dean whether there might be a role in Trump\u2019s administration for DeSantis after the latter\u2019s term as governor, Trump reportedly said he wouldn\u2019t rule it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, but I\u2019d certainly consider it,\u201d Trump was quoted as saying. \u201cI think he\u2019s good, doing a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida news: President Trump says he’d consider a role for Ron DeSantis in the administration once he’s done serving as Florida’s governor in Jan 2027.<\/p>\n

Q: Do you foresee a role for Ron DeSantis in the administration once he\u2019s done serving as governor?<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be the first time that Trump has given out positions in his administration to former political rivals. <\/p>\n

For example, he made former Sen. Marco Rubio the current secretary of state, and Ben Carson his HUD secretary during Trump\u2019s prior term in office.<\/p>\n

DeSantis\u2019 term as governor is set to end on Jan. 5, 2027.<\/p>\n
