At events for Mr. DeSantis in the early nominating states, some voters have said that they wish the much younger Mr. DeSantis would run on the same ticket as Mr. Trump.
“DeSantis is four years too early,” said Jim Mai, a Republican voter in the crowd for a speech Mr. DeSantis gave in Sioux Center, Iowa, in May.
“Trump should run and have DeSantis as his vice president.”But a joint ticket between the two Florida men would prove logistically challenging.
So if Mr. Trump picked Mr. DeSantis, or another Florida resident like Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami, who is also in the race, he would forfeit the state’s 30 electoral votes.
One solution: Mr. Trump, who switched his residency to Florida ahead of the 2020 election, could change it back to New York.
