President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will share the stage at a conservative political conference in Washington on Sept. 15, giving attendees a rare side-by-side comparison of the two frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination.

The event, Pray, Vote, Stand, comes less than a week after supporters of Mr. DeSantis jeered President Trump at an Iowa football game, upping the gamesmanship displayed by Trump supporters at the Iowa State Fair in August, who heckled the Florida governor.
