Apparently they can be from the same state.
There are many misconceptions about the rules of a president choosing their running mate. There’s no law or regulation against a president and vice president of the United States being from the same state. The reason why some people mistakenly believe such a prohibition exists comes down to a particular aspect of the Electoral College system laid out in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
Exactly, waste of VP if he chooses DeSantis, plus DeSantis is divisive nationally anyway.
What? Divisive? DeSantis would normalize Trump's ticket.
There a may be a small handful of hardcore Trump fans that did not like the DeSantis challenge to Trump, but if DeSantis is VP, they get Trump anyway, so that is not an issue.
And who cares what the lefties think, they wont matter in this at all.

I dont get your point here.
Got to win the independent vote, and being 1000% anti-abortion is not the way.
DeSantis is the worst candidate for VP nationally.
DeSantis will also never be President, because most of America is in favor of abortion.
Trump is wisely leaving abortion for the states to decide.
Desantis deliberately jumped out of the primary at exactly the right time to give nimrata the best chances at winning. He’s explicitly anti Trump.
I disagree, as he has differences with Trump in part because of styles, but Trump did help him get elected over the radical criminal drug addict male prostitute hiring wacko named Gillum.
It was shocking the election was that close.
Despite the fact DeSantis has done a great job governing as an adult (surplus budget, protecting children from radical leftist and pedo ideology, not allowing illegal aliens to take over, stopping lockdowns, squashing squatters, etc., etc.) I'd bet some of the liberal/leftist wackos wish we had Gillum instead.
I do not know why DeSantis ran unless he thought Trump was doomed with all the "lawfare" by the Democrats, but he is term limited for the next election in 2026, so him being a VP on a winning ticket in 2024 and the presumed front runner in 2028 since Trump cannot run again makes sense.

Not really, only the die-hard liberal left, who want porn in children's libraries and to change children's sex and want illegals here, etc., thinks he is.
DeSantis is a huge liability nationally because of his 1000% anti-abortion stance, DeSantis will never win the Presidency and him being VP would hurt Trump's chances.
Remember how Obama "evolved" on supporting gay marriage once he was elected?
He didnt take a hard stance on it until then, as he knew (in 2008) gay marriage was divisive among some democrats in moderate or red states. Especially swing states.
That is a tactic most politicians use.
Many recent polls show republicans having a hard stance on abortion sliding as being competitive, so they adjust as needed. Its what politicians do.
Trump has wobbled on this himself, and recently.
I would wager if DeSantis decided to take the VP slot, he would decide that a more moderate states rights stance would suffice.

Abortion is about the only thing Biden can run on. Trump decision to leave it up to the states is smart. Nevertheless, the Biden team will have attack ads nightly warning women Trump and Reps are planning a national ban.
DeSantis? He got bogged down on the Disney debacle and abortion is ten times the issue
Political campaigns to Trump are team scrimmages where one squad plays the other. Same team, play hard, to make the team and then all for one and one for all.
Trump is a business man and focused on results. In business, if you do not meet your goals, you are canned or demoted. Loyalty is to the company goals and shareholders.
In politics the big guy covers up your failures and is erroneously call loyalty. Loyalty to whom? Loyalty must be to the people not partisan hacks.
People have called for non politicians to be elected, they got Trump who is 180 degrees from a career politician and whose methods are alien to the legacy of political norms.
Trump makes the media, military experts, economic experts and foreign policy experts look like the fools they are by successes they claimed were impossible to achieve.
Desantis would make a good VP, IF desantis has a groomed successor to govern FL.
If I were swayed to vote for Trump because I had no other option (definitely not voting Biden), I would retract that if DeSantis becomes VP.
