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.

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.
desantis is currently running for reelection for florida governor this year (2022)...
he’ll be sworn in january 2023...
he’s not starting a presidential campaign in 2023...
You know that posts on FR last forever, right?
Yep. You think that in a little over two years you'll be dredging this one up to say I told you so? I'll take my chances.
“he’s not starting a presidential campaign in 2023...”
He hasn’t said he wouldn’t run in 2024.
Plus Mr DeSantis has quite a following on Free Republic, apparently he’s also a political genius who doesn’t make mistakes and would be an improvement over the 45th President.
EXCELLENT!
President and Vice-President cannot both be from the same state, so one of them will have to move their residence.
he’s already stated his attention is focused on this year’s election, not a presidential campaign next year...
If trump moves then it could happen but if 2 candidates are from the same state they can’t have the EC
The story says he is moving to NJ for the summer
But Robert Barnes said it was true!
Wait a minute – who is Robert Barnes?
If I were Trump I wouldn’t run .
Doubtful as such a ticket may be, I would not complain if it heppens.
“If I were Trump I wouldn’t run .”
You aren’t Trump so it doesn’t matter.
If Trump doesn’t run watch for a deflated political environment where people turn off the boring propaganda and “tune out.”

Has the writer ever been to NJ in the summer months?
“President and Vice-President cannot both be from the same state, so one of them will have to move their residence.”
Actually, they can be from the same state, but they lose the electoral votes from that state.
It doesn’t matter, because the congressman who became a governor is arrogant and won’t play “second fiddle” to the 45th President.
He has his ego and priorities to uphold.
Trump moving to New Jersey, the state with the highest taxes in the country?
—
People move from NJ not to NJ. It would be like moving from the Shire to Mordor.
New Yorkers have indeed been moving to New Jersey.
Well known Civil Rights and Tax attorney. Represented Kyle Rittenhouse.
Well...
If it is true, then the matchup between the tickets of Trump-DeSantis, Cankles-Moochelle, and Soros-Bezos will be very exciting...
It will be framed in massive violence...
“That would be a ticket that would lose to Biden.
Enough with fossils running the country.”
Yes I’m sure you would prefer the youthful AOC, or Beto O’Rourke, or the young Adam Kinzinger to run for President, because young folks are much wiser and dynamic, don’t you know.
