Although Ron DeSantis, the governor of Trump’s home state, is his biggest rival, Trump still dominates the field of probable Republican presidential contenders. DeSantis wants to upend the status quo.
GOP primaries in 2024 might not matter all that much since Donald Trump is likely to win the nomination, which might lead to a repeat with Joe Biden as president. According to analysts, the true struggle for Republican candidates is to finish second.
There is still plenty of time before the primary election, so anything might happen, even if DeSantis is well on his way to winning the No. 2 spot.
Once the primary elections are over, is a Trump-DeSantis presidential ticket possible? Furthermore, would Trump genuinely choose DeSantis to be his running mate?
He received an urgent query on Tuesday and responded right away.
On the Todd Starnes Show, the 45th president said: “I don’t like saying anything is like, impossible, but it’s pretty unlikely, I would think.”
DeSantis’ opportunity to become vice president could have been lost if he had challenged him for the GOP primary. He made the suggestion.
“I was very surprised that he did,” According to Florida’s Voice, Trump stated. “Without that, it would have been a distinct possibility.”
Trump regularly extolled his contribution to DeSantis’ tight victory in the 2018 governor race.
“Look, Rob DeSanctimonious came to me asking for help. He was losing badly, by 31 points, to popular Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam,” Trump stated in a post on May Truth Social.

“With 3 LARGE TRUMP RALLIES, he WON THE GENERAL ELECTION in an upset. DISLOYAL!!!”
DeSantis, meanwhile, has been more prepared to criticize the previous president subtly. He criticised Trump’s usage of nick names, according to Florida’s Voice. “I think it’s so petty. I think it’s so juvenile,” DeSantis said.
“I don’t think that’s what voters want, and honestly, I think that his conduct, which he’s been doing for years now, I think that’s one of the reasons he’s not in the White House now,” DeSantis offered.
The Western Journal stated that there is a constitutional problem to take into account with relation to a Trump-DeSantis ticket:
If Trump chooses DeSantis as his running mate and the Republican nomination, a constitutional issue may arise.
If both candidates are listed as residents of Florida, Florida electors cannot vote for a Trump-DeSantis ticket.
Florida Electoral College electors won’t be able to support Trump and DeSantis in the presidential election if they both file as residents of that state.
Did you know that Florida may lose some of its Electoral College votes as a result of Article II of the Constitution? This is so that electors can vote for a candidate who is not from their own state. Learn more about this fascinating feature of the constitution that established our nation.
Regardless of their political views, recent rumors indicate that Trump may be contemplating a woman as his running mate.
Many people were shocked when Fox News presenter Greg Gutfeld endorsed Independent former congressman Tulsi Gabbard in early May.
“The thing I like about Tulsi is that if she were to give you two opinions, you could not predict a third. She’s a definition of an individual. Like, I disagree with her on probably at least 30%, maybe 40% of things, but the boxes she ticks aren’t the boxes that Kamala ticks,” He stated during a portion of “The Five.”
“Her boxes are achievements and ideas. That’s different than skin color and where she was born — not where she was born, but whatever her background is. So, I think that is what makes her so different. I have never seen her angry in my life. And just lastly, I think she’s going to be Trump’s VP. That’s where this is going,” Gutfeld added.
Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley are among the other people addressed.
