Picking DeSantis violates the 12th Amendment's rule about state delegates can't be both for prez and vice prez if they both live in that state.

Of course, Trump could honestly say that the Dims have forced him to practically live in NY during their sham trial.

Exactly. And that's why it won't be DeSantis or Rubio. People can argue whether or not such a pairing would be constitutionally acceptable but does Trump really want to gear up for another serious challenge to the election should he win (on top of the multiple other legal challenges he is certain to face)?

Anyhow, DeSantis for AG.

That’s correct.
But, the VP numbers aren’t included in the Electoral vote.
They are meaningless.

The 12th Amendment only made sense when the president and vice-president were both candidates for the presidency. It’s curious that it’s never been updated.
