Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former President Donald Trump are facing a potential obstacle in their 2024 election prospects due to their shared residency in Florida. According to the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, a president and vice president cannot reside in the same state, which currently disqualifies Rubio and Trump from running on the same ticket.
Rubio has been considered a top contender for Trump's vice-presidential pick, but their Florida residency complicates matters. To circumvent this restriction, either Rubio or Trump would need to change their residency before the election to be eligible to run together.
Other potential candidates being considered for Trump's running mate include Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Gov. Doug Burgum of South Dakota. An official announcement regarding Trump's vice-presidential pick is anticipated to be made on the first day of the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Monday.
