Today, Robert Barnes came out and said the Trump/DeSantis ticket is already decided. I've read comments from people that the president and VP cannot be from the same state. That is not true, however, there is an issue with electoral votes under a scenario like this. I read this same situation arose with Bush/Cheney as they were both living in TX at the time. Right before the election, Cheney moved back to Wyoming and resolved the issue.
Below is an article that shows Trump moved to NJ. This sure seems like he's preparing to negate the problem of both candidates being from Florida.

Trump is leaving Florida for the summer, Insider has learned. Last year, he left Mar-a-Lago on Mother's Day.

Former President Donald Trump is leaving Florida to avoid the swampy summer months.
Trump left his beachside Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach and as of Friday is at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, according to a Republican source close to the former president who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Before leaving, Trump did a TV interview from Mar-a-Lago on Thursday evening with the Miami Spanish-language station MegaTV. He's leaving South Florida just as the area is facing a tropical storm warning throughout the weekend.
Trump's move north means much of the Republican political braintrust will follow. GOP political hopefuls have flocked to Mar-a-Lago, holding fundraisers and other events there as they hope to get some face time with Trump and perhaps even land a coveted endorsement.
Now, Bedminster will become the new go-to spot for the GOP.
THAT is a GREAT OBSERVATION!!!
KUDOS.
DonRon?
The best Presidents in my lifetime have been a Donald or a Ronald.
Just sayin......
Well, maybe you are a wimp.
There are plenty of those around.

” Freepers want to elect a guy who lost to Biden.”
Mr. Van Winkle, have you been asleep for 18 months, and woke up with MSNBC on the tube? No sentient being believes that Trump lost to Biden.
“Not Nikki Haley or Kristi Noem, I think I’d he picks a woman it will be Elise Stepanek.”
Agree. Haley is a mega-RINO who messed with the Confederate flag in her state, which isn’t surprising considering her NBC status. Not having the foundation of 100% American values would cause her to make similar bad decisions.
Noem is a squish who decides what to do depending on which way the wind is blowing.
Stephanek has been pretty good. A couple bad votes, IIRC.
I like Kari Lake but she needs more time in office to prove that she’s all she portrays herself to be.
Maybe you are an a-hole . Billions of them around .
Barnes also has a direct relationship with Trump. This was no unauthorized chatter.
“If I were Trump I wouldn’t run.”
Trump isn’t the type to just back off after he’s been screwed; he’ll run. He gets hit, he hits back X2. Nobody in America has been screwed as badly as he was.
Whomever runs has to be tough enough to fight the slings and arrows of the evil RATs and RINOs
if i were trump i would make sleepy joe my VP and have him ride his bicycle around the white house all day long...
except for the times he had to be picked up off the pavement.
True that!
Stupid speculative crap does not need to be “believed”.
And, btw Trump is still a FL resident (homesteaded there in fact).
YOu know how many Palm Beach, FL residents “move” to their mountain summer homes.... in mid summer. They don’t change their tax home residence. 100K or more leave seasonally, and have done so for over 100 years, same as flatlander Virginians move to their other residences in TN,AL, GA and KY. To escape the dog days of Summer.
If true the democrats and media just went into full OH S**T mode.
That is not true. There is an electors issue though and Bush/Cheney were in the same boat (both living in TX). Right before the election Cheney moved back to WY. Look at the link in the body of the post and you’ll be able to read up on it. This is why, IMVHO, DJT took up residence in NJ this summer.
who said anything about Trump NEEDING DeSantis to win??? You do realize Presidents are always accompanied by Vice Presidents don’t you? This is a winning ticket that secures the office for the next 12 years
you come across very angry for no reason. He can change his homestead pretty quick.
If you are too unaware of the political environment by now there is no help for you.
The MSM and RINO’s promote Desantis vs. President Trump continuously. In fact, there is yet another article published and promoted heavily by the MSM/RINO’s again today. They are looking to play the divide and conquer game.
And, clueless fools who don’t like President Trump’s “tone” are playing right along. The I like his policies but I don’t like his “tone” fools are aiding and abetting the enemy. And, so many are too stupid to see it.
Desantis is doing a fine job as the governor of a state. He may or may not make it on the national stage.
He hasn’t a fraction of the Charisma and Personality Donald Trump has. This is not even arguable.
There’s no indication whatsoever Desantis could hold onto the very broad spectrum of voters Donald Trump has brought into the Republican Party.
In fact, he won in Florida by the narrowest of margins against a Grifter with Personality who is now under Criminal Indictment.
Winning at the National Level is so much more than, we Conservatives think he’s great! Just ask Ted Cruz supporter’s about this. In fact, Desantis has support from the same sort that supported Cruz leading up to the 2016 Primary election cycle where Cruz wasn’t even a factor.
It takes much more than just Political Positions to win on a National Level.
I suggest you YouTube Desantis’ campaign appearances for the governor’s race. They will be enlightening to you. They are actually somewhat painful to watch.
I live in Florida. I, and my entire family voted for the man. That said, we are not delusional about our Governors appeal on a broad level. Mr. Charisma he is not. Again, a Grifter Indicted Criminal nearly beat the man.
You are the clueless one
