Trump Considers Rubio for VP Amid Constitutional Concerns

Marco Rubio expresses honor at the potential VP nomination, despite facing hurdles due to both being from Florida.

  • Trump's consideration of Marco Rubio as a potential vice president has sparked discussion on constitutional hurdles for an all-Florida ticket.
  • Rubio, despite past criticisms of Trump, expresses honor at the possibility of serving as vice president, highlighting the importance of public service.
  • The constitutional challenge stems from the 12th Amendment, which discourages electors from voting for a president and vice president from the same state.
  • Experts suggest possible solutions to the constitutional hurdle, including changing Rubio's residency or having Florida's electors be residents of another state.
  • Rubio's potential candidacy is seen as a move to appeal to Hispanic voters and calm GOP leaders concerned about Trump.
