The issue of having two candidates from the same state is really a non-issue when either candidate can change their residence in a matter of a day or two at most. This is exactly what happened in 2000 with Dick Chaney, who was then residing in Houston. In the run up to the convention, no choice had been announced, but some enterprising reporter found out that Cheney took a nighttime charter flight back to Wyoming. As soon as I saw that, I knew that he was going to be the Veep nominee.
In this case, Trump has a residence in New York City, and has a luxury golf course complete with luxury suites in Bedminster, NJ. If I were Trump, I would definitely not move back to New York City, where the taxes are the highest in the nation and where he has been thoroughly abused by the state and city government. New Jersey isn’t much better, but they do have lower taxes and have not brought any cases against him. Of course, he could also move to another 0% income tax state that is friendly (Texas would welcome him with open arms). Once the election is over, which at worst would be about two weeks before the inauguration when Congress accepts the Electoral Votes, he can reestablish residency anywhere he would like to, as The residency of the President and the Vice President only matters at the time of the election
Trump cannot change his residence at this point. Would Rubio resign and move? Doubtful.
Thank you for correcting my misinformation. I didnt research it carefully enough after reading it is so many other places.
Can you imagine how loudly the opposition will howl if this happens?
I wouldn’t move to NYC for anything - what a sad mess it has become. It is almost as if the opposition is competing to see who wins in a “destroy this city” contest.
