“Sure I would … I would certainly consider Ron,” Trump, 74, told Fox Business‘ Stuart Varney in a phone interview Monday.

“I was at the beginning of Ron,” he said of the 42-year-old former Navy officer who graduated both Yale and Harvard Law School.

“I was the first one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman that a lot of people didn’t know, and my endorsement helped him tremendously,” Trump said. “And I know him very well. He’s a great guy,” Trump added.

Can he be a running mate if they reside in the same state?

sure. They often try to pick a different state to get an electoral boost in second state.

Looks like a great choice but Pres and Veep cannot come from same state.
One of the other would have to move first.
And PDJT won’t go back to NY, that’s for sure!

One of them, probably Trump, would need to change their residence to another state.

Bush and Cheney were from the same state before Bush picked him as a running mate. Cheney just changed his residence to Wyoming, where he lived before he became a swamp creature. DeSantis being the current governor of Florida would probably make that precise switcheroo a little more cumbersome, it would make more sense for Trump to change his state of voting residency since he has multiple residences. If it were a democrat, the formality wouldn't even be needed, it would just be "deemed" as true.

Ron DeSantis Cheered Like a Rockstar at Massive Concert With Pointed Shot at Fauci

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/06/07/ron-desantis-cheered-like-a-rockstar-at-massive-concert-with-pointed-shot-at-fauci-n392974

Democrats might want to take a look at this one.

Because this shows just how much trouble they are in with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. They’ve done all they could, inventing different ways to attack him, it seems, every week. But it only seems to be helping to build him up more and feeding his profile to the Republican base.

That showed, clearly when he was called out on stage last night at Panama City Beach, at the 2021 Gulf Coast Jam. The concert was supposed to be last Labor Day but was delayed because of the pandemic. It’s now the largest concert held in the country since the start of the pandemic, with an estimated 22,000 people.

From WTSP:

“It’s the first major, over 20,000 people in population event that I’m aware of, that Billboard Magazine is aware of and that Rolling Stone Magazine is aware of (in the U.S. since COVID-19),” Gulf Coast Jam producer Rendy Lovelady told the Panama City News Herald. “After this weekend, it’s a house of cards and they just fall everywhere. There (will be) thousands of them across the country.”

That sounds like a pretty good prediction, with all kinds of restrictions continuing to fall.

Masks were optional at the event that, in addition to DeSantis, featured headliners Lynyrd Skynyrd, Brad Paisley and Luke Bryan.

When DeSantis was announced, he was greeted with raucous cheers, from what looked like a largely young audience. That should especially worry the Democrats.

“sure. They often try to pick a different state to get an electoral boost in second state.”

From obscure document:

“The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.”

“Trump is a New Yorker”

Detroit needs a Michigander like that.

cheney did this, last minute, as you recall. not a big deal.

then again, with every election clerk in the country thinking they are an emperor....for Trump, it might actually be difficult, would likely result in a lawsuit/mandamus

maybe he should move to a friendly county in Texas :)
