TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump received a rock star’s welcome at a gathering of young conservative activists in Florida this weekend as he continued to tease another presidential run. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got his own rousing response as the invisible primary for the 2024 Republican nomination begins to spill into public view. The jockeying was a top topic of conversation at Turning Point USA’s annual Student Action Summit, and attendees were torn. Many were cheering Trump’s return as others eagerly eyed DeSantis. Some weren’t quite sure. Nineteen-year-old Leo Milik of Barrington, Illinois, said, “It’s like choosing between your favorite child.”
