DeSantis says he would not serve as Trump’s VP
Thehill ^ | Oct 01, 2023 | Sarah Forninsky

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a 2024 presidential candidate, said on Sunday that he would not serve as President Trump’s vice president if the former president asked him to be his running mate.

“No, I’m running for president,” DeSantis said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” when asked whether he would accept a theoretical offer.

DeSantis’s comments come in response to Trump’s recent jab at the other GOP presidential candidates, among whom Trump said he did not see a potential running mate.

He can’t since they are both from Florida. Read the constitution.

Good for him. Trump picks crappy people anyway. He craps all over them too.

Yeah a winner in his election. But he will pick someone who lost their election. Lol.

Agree. Somewhere out there is the next Mike Pence. Only with less loyalty and lower key charisma.

Any ideas who Trump will pick as his VP? Certainly not Mike Pence again. Looks like he's running out of Republican candidates that he hasn't called RINOs or Deep Staters.

Hey DeSantis, you are the Governor of Florida. I voted for you November 8, 2022 to be the Governor from January 2023 through January 2027. You made a contract with us Floridians. Now do what you were contracted to do.

DeSantis got talked into this POTUS run due to his own gullibility and uh, self-esteem. He'll become a less effective governor now, which is the RINO plan for him. Only when he turns to re-elected President Trump will he be able to retain the governor's mansion.

That's a statement that demonstrates bad judgment.

Why slam a door shut if there's nothing to be gained by doing so?

Which waffling voters does he expect to pick up by that statement? Any Trump haters probably already support him and voters who like Trump are turned off.

His statement sounds like personal animus toward Trump and exasperation that he is polling so poorly.

Doesn’t matter, the VP can’t be from the same state as the president.

Yes. This story is much ado about nothing.
