Trump offered him the VP spot. DeSantis knows this is his only realistic path to the presidency, so he jumped on it.
- (x) Doubt
- oh man, any VP is gonna scheme to kill trump right away
  
  Didn't Trump say something about the President having full immunity? So if Trump was ever incapacitated, and DeSantis took over the Presidency, he could order Trumps death?
  
  They’re both Florida which is against the rules
  
  No, that only means the Florida electors have to vote for a different vp. Trump/DeSantis could still win an election
  
  Oh. Wow.
- They are both Floridians, which would make DeSantis as Veep unconstitutional. Might not stop them, though.
  
  Politifact disagrees, but it could introduce electoral college issues. And there's something we really need more of, eh?
  
  You're right. Only the Florida electors can't vote for both.
