Nothing in the constitution bars presidential and vice-presidential candidates from the same state from running, being elected, or holding office together; it only bars the electors from their home state from voting for both of them.
Ok but it makes it so that if the election is 270 to 269 electoral votes with the Republicans winning, the VP will be Democratic VP Harris because all 30 Florida electors have to vote for Trump for president so none of them could vote for Rubio, he would get 240 electoral votes and lose to Harris who would get 269.
It’s a noteworthy disadvantage even if it’s not as bad as I thought originally.
