LANDOVER, MD — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to join President-elect Donald Trump at the Army-Navy football game next Saturday, according to multiple sources familiar with the governor’s schedule.
The event, which marks a long-standing tradition between the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy, will take place in Foxborough, Massachusetts. This will be the first public appearance of DeSantis and Trump together since the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump.
Bill Melugin, a reporter for Fox News, first shared the news on social media, citing a source close to DeSantis. The report was later confirmed by Johnny Maga, a prominent conservative social media figure, in a post that read, “Update: confirmed.”
Details about the joint appearance remain limited, but the game has traditionally served as a stage for prominent political figures to showcase support for the armed forces.
The Army-Navy game will be held at Gillette Stadium, attracting national attention as it features one of college football’s most storied rivalries and coincides with heightened interest in Trump’s transition plans.
DeSantis and Trump will appear at the Army-Navy game in what could signal renewed unity among top Republican figures.
