The reason that a president and vice president don’t come from the same state is because electors are still required to vote for one candidate not from their home state.
So essentially the VP on the ticket could lose if the electoral votes of his state are necessary to win. Florida has too many electoral votes to try this trick.
“Florida has too many electoral votes to try this trick.”
Yeah I know some things have to happen for a Trump/RD ticket to materialize. Trump could easily change his residence back to NY if he wanted to.
Speaking of RD, he still has to get the FL legislature to change the law requiring him to step down as Gov if he jumps into the ring - and that would come at a great political cost to him I believe.
