When answering, Trump referred to the governor as "a great guy" and "a friend of mine." He pointed out that he endorsed DeSantis for governor, and, after doing so, "he took off like a rocket ship" and that "he's done a great job as governor." Trump offered that "a lot of people like that... they like that ticket." 

Trump's endorsement of DeSantis during the Republican primary indeed helped, as he beat the competition, with the state's Agricultural Commissioner Adam Putnam being his toughest opponent, whom he trounced by 20 points. Gov. DeSantis won the 2018 gubernatorial election against Andrew Gillum. 

The governor has yet to address the former president's comments.
