They both can’t run. They’re from the same state.

. Technically, the both can run even if they're claiming residence in the same state.

The problem is that under the Constitution, the electors from the state in question (in this case Florida) could not cast their votes for them if they won that state. This would not be an issue if they won in a landslide but if it was a close election, it could cost them the election.

Actually, the 12th Amendment only prevents an elector from voting for both the President AND the Vice-President if they are both from the same State (Florida) as is the elector. This means that said same State elector could only vote for President OR Vice-President, not both. In a blow-out election it would not matter, but in a close 2024 electoral election you might have a situation whereby you get Trump as the 47th President and a Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate elected as Vice-President instead of DeSantis due to the large decisive number of Florida’s 30 electoral votes in 2024.
