The POTUS and VP are not allowed to be from the same state. So now than Trump is legally a Florida resident, he would have to change again.

Besides that. I think TFG is too insecure to bring along someone who is challenging him for attention in the party.

it can complicate the electoral college vote. For this reason, it is avoided.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/president-vp-different-states/

Therefore, Article II of the Constitution (as well as the Twelfth Amendment, which modified it) specified that electors must “vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves,” a requirement that guaranteed at least half of each state’s electoral votes would be cast for candidates from other states.

This requirement is still in effect today, but confusion arises when people misunderstand it to govern the actions of candidates rather than electors. Nothing in the constitution bars presidential and vice-presidential candidates from the same state from running, being elected, or holding office together; it only bars the electors from their home state from voting for both of them.

Looks like they're down a dwarf



-Note to jury : that is not an insult to short people. It is a reference to a Barbara Bush comment about one of the Democratic lineups. It fits better in this context.

I think this reflects fear of not supporting Trump more than anything else.

And, that's being generous. And, to think this was once the party of Eisenhower. How far they have fallen.

But that's a pretty strong showing by Desantis.

There's really only 2 names on that list. The rest is just noise.

Cruz ignores how unpopular he is even with his own party and announces he's running for president because God wants him to?
