Former Republican President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a get-out-the-vote rally on November 6 with Florida Senior Senator Marco Rubio in Miami.

Conspicuously left off the guest list was the state's Governor Ron DeSantis, and his supporters are not very pleased.


According to Politico, the apparent snub riled the Republican Governor's conservative allies who complained that DeSantis' team was not informed of Trump's rally in Miami-Dade County before it was officially announced.

The event will be held on November 6–two days before the 2022 midterm election.

A longtime Republican consultant close to DeSantis noted how any campaign event the Governor holds during the crucial final moments leading up to the midterms will be negatively impacted by the Trump and Rubio event.

The consultant griped:

“You’ve got the Sunday before Election Day totally hijacked by Trump parachuting in on Trump Force One taking up the whole day."
“No Republican could go to a DeSantis event that day. None. And DeSantis won’t be here? This is big.”

Another called the snub:

“an elbow to Ron’s throat.”

Many online had plenty of criticism for the two of them.






Others had faith the Governor already has it in the bag.

There have been indications of mounting tensions between Trump and DeSantis.

Early this summer, DeSantis allegedly declined to ask Trump for a formal reelection endorsement, according to four people connected to the Governor and former President.

The speculation was that the Florida Governor–preparing for a likely 2024 presidential bid–wanted to avoid a potential clash with Trump if he also runs for the White House.

Adding to the friction was Trump slamming DeSantis and accusing him of stealing his plan of shipping migrants to Massachusetts, according to Rolling Stone.

Meanwhile, fans of drama grabbed some popcorn.



Nevertheless, a Trump advisor assured there was no conflict between the former President and DeSantis, explaining that the event was part of a four-city tour ahead of the election.

Said the advisor:

“This is an event President Trump is holding as part of a series of stops he is making for Republican Senate candidates."
“It came after he and Senator Rubio spoke directly.”

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
