DeSantis meets with GOP congressional lawmakers as he mulls White House bid

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who's considering a run for the presidency, made overtures to congressional Republicans during a visit to  Washington, D.C., Tuesday, as notable GOP members from his home state decided to back former President Donald Trump

Lawmakers who attended DeSantis' policy discussion said they were keeping their powder dry and wouldn't make any endorsements just yet. 

Republicans at Tuesday's event described it as a very casual, mellow discussion over cocktails. Held at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank's office near Capitol Hill, lawmakers said DeSantis offered brief remarks about his successes in Florida and his legislative agenda, before chatting one-on-one with them.
