But, but, but: Well, there's the Constitution: Two Florida residents can't share a ticket (though Rubio is reportedly willing to establish residency elsewhere).

How does a Senator or Governor of the State of Florida establish residency in another State and still maintain their current offices?

Disagree, 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.

I wish he’d pick Rand Paul as his VP.
