Trump’s running mate remains a mystery. Will he choose Vance for White House dance?

from Politics & Power · host News4Jax and Graham Media Group

The race to determine who will be Donald Trump’s running mate is heating up as the former president says he has “sort of a pretty good idea” who he’ll pick. While the actual choice remains a mystery, some insiders say a Rust Belt Republican is the best choice. They believe Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance may be the one to flip votes away from President Joe Biden in key battleground states, including the Rust Belt, where Biden needs to win voter support if he’s going to be re-elected. But what about Florida Sen. Marco Rubio? Interesting question here. Could the one-time rival be the V.P. choice? Can he and Trump run on the same ticket? The 12th Amendment may prove to be a headache when it comes to a Trump-Rubio ticket because both are Florida residents, and the amendment stipulates that electors can’t vote for presidential and vice-presidential candidates who both reside in the elector’s state — at least one of them must live in another state.
