Rubio would shed Florida residency to be Trump’s vice president: Report

One of former President Donald Trump‘s vice presidential candidates is reportedly willing to go to considerable lengths to be selected.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said he would change his Florida residency in order to be former Trump’s vice president, according to the New York Times.

The decision would be in response to a constitutional conflict in which a president and vice president on the same ticket cannot share the same state of residency, or they may lose that state’s electoral votes. In Florida’s case, it’d be a critical 30.

Trump, who is also a resident of Florida, reportedly said he would not change his residency because Floridians would not want to see him leave. Earlier this month, Rubio’s office said the senator had not spoken about the topic with anyone from Trump’s campaign.

While Rubio could be the former president’s choice, others such as Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Ben Carson, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) have been floated too. Rubio captured thousands more votes in his Senate race in 2016 than Trump did in the presidential race, leaving Trump to wonder how and reportedly piquing his interest in the senator.

And DeSantis gets to appoint an interim senator... A Conservative... Who is sure to win the next time around.

So Rubio would abandon his state, his constituents and voters, and his responsibilities just for a little bit of power?  Reminds me back when he was recruited to head up the original "Gang of 8."  He's a complete phony!

Technically, he could run for VP without giving up his residency.  He would just have to change it sometime between Election Day and the day that electors actually vote, which I believe is around the second week of December.

Rubio still leans conservative, but is taking more centrist positions of late.  Overall it seems like a horrible idea for him to leave a cushy senate job.  The time will come when he has to disagree with Trump ... to avoid prosecution, or to side with the constitution over an aging narcissist... so he inevitably would be despised by both parties.
