Florida’s senior Senator may not offer former President Donald Trump as big a boost as some other potential running mates might … including the current Governor of Florida.
That’s the takeaway from the new Harvard-Harris Poll, which finds voters want Gov. Ron DeSantis and not Marco Rubio on the ticket.
DeSantis leads a host of potential picks with 12% top-choice support among the electorate, including 23% of Republicans, 7% of no-party voters, and 4% of Democrats.
Rubio has 4% support but just 3% among Republicans, 4% among no-party voters, and 5% among Democrats. He trails U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Rubio would offer a net boost for the ticket, with 27% of respondents saying they’d be more likely to vote for him and 17% saying they’d be less likely. However, the pollster didn’t test the same question with DeSantis for unknown reasons.
With the electorate at large, Rubio is above water in favorability, with 36% saying they approve of him and 33% disapproving. But that doesn’t even make him the most popular Florida Republican nationally.
That honor goes to DeSantis, at +6 with 43% approval against 37% disapproval.
DeSantis has ruled out being Trump’s running mate at various points for over a year, making the question moot unless the Governor is reconsidering his position amid a thaw with the Trump operation.
However, Rubio continues to be asked if he would take the gig.
“I’ll do whatever the campaign asks me to do,” the Senator said on Meet the Press Sunday, adding that speculation would be “presumptuous” given those conversations haven’t happened yet.

Please pick Rhonda as VP so Rhonda can tank the Trump campaign like they tanked their own.
Even is Rhonda becomes, once again, fully just a Trump accessory, this time that won’t work because everybody knows now that Everybody Hates Rhonda.
Please please please pick Rhonda! Pick Rhonda Dee!

If DeSantis is just the tag-along on the Trump ticket, does that exempt them from Resign to Run?
Let’s all pray that an impotent role of sidekick aka Gilligan aka VP does not exempt Ron from resigning to run, and that the legislature doesn’t change the law a third time just for Ron not to be breaking the law breaking the law breaking the law by doing whatever they feel like instead of governing Florida like they were elected to do and are paid to do.

Rhonda for VP
May 20, 2024 at 5:56 pm
I’m sure Rhonda will make some executive order to allow for being VP and Florida governor legal so that the authoritarian dictator communist nazzi party can continue to reign. Just look at how the deck is being stacked right now with all the movement at the supervisors of elections. Tell me they aren’t being forced out on an election year! Crooked politics and so many STOOOPID MAGAt followers. Wake up idiots you all need to move to Russia, pootin lovers

earl pitts, i love your comments so much. you are so witty and current. when i read your post i am so lifted by the humor and wit that it makes my day. i am always sharing your beloved posts with friends.. the story about you taking your name based on a rowan and martin character is precious. gary burbank, what a great name. how come you quit using it? your born name of billy purser is quite boring so i can see why you changed it to gary burbank. ron desantis is so lucky to have you as a champion. with you earl being so vocal and providing the maga cultist point of veiw, you have been such a beacon for christian maga domination. when people tell me you are a bad guy, i always say, you must be wrong. women are always talking about how great you are, it makes me a little jealous. please remember me in your prayers, as i will remember you in mine. god bless you earl, florida needs more maga cultist’ just like you. we got to own them dems, right? keep them witty informative posts coming.

great poll work. NOW, illuminated by our floridian egos which demand a strictly floridian executive line up, let’s work out this little fantastical equation.
desantis for vp, then who for gov…. ? hahahah………..
take a wild guess — lol……. who’s been all up in the press just joenzin to be gov…. really…. really badly……….
i know you know the answer. but how do we get to the solution?
gov appointments to fill seats ??? b/c somewhere crammed away in the law it says that????????????
incorrect . try again.

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
As I came to find our both Don & Ron were holding back as the both saw me, Elvis Pitts American, as the Bestest VPOTUS choice for our Great Nation and The Planet as a whole.
After I, Elvis Pitts American, assured them both that I work best “Behind The Scenes” they now are free to start moving forward with these little press releases getting the Nation ready to love and support the POTUS/VPOTUS Team of THE DONALD & THE RONALD.
Thank you America,

Excuse me, it’s unconstitutional to have the president and vice president from the same state. Many states would not allow them on the ballot, and there would be no way they could serve if elected.

Good evening Robert,
We actually worked that out a long time ago. And we are going to spring it on all the “Dook 4 Brains Leftists” a little closer to election day to throw “Thevl Dooks” off balance so they will forget to cheat. I wish I could tell you how we are going to do it Robert but my latest intel indicates you are a “Big Mouthed Dook 4 Brains Lefty” who can not keep a secret.
Thsnks for “Weighing In” Robert,
