Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Rubio is viewed as an individual who could help Trump attract Hispanic voters and has substantial experience in foreign policy as vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence and the senior member of the Committee on Foreign Relations.
47% : In June, while campaigning in Las Vegas, Trump called for eliminating taxes on workers' tips, a crucial source of income for those working in Nevada's tourism industry.
43% : It's doubtful that Trump would change his residency from Florida, having made it his primary residence in 2019, changing it from New York.
33% : "Thus, it follows that Trump can't select Rubio as his running mate without sacrificing those crucial 30 votes toward his needed 270, which he of course wouldn't do unless Rubio abandons his Florida residence before the election," Tribe said.
30% : "Despite the constitutional anomaly of someone serving as a senator of a state that he no longer inhabits, if Rubio could convince people that he no longer is a Florida resident, then Trump could legally pick him.
27% : Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus of constitutional law at Harvard University, told ABC News that in "concrete terms" this means that "none of Florida's 30 electoral votes may be cast this December for both Trump and Rubio unless Rubio or Trump 'ceases to be an inhabitant' of Florida before Dec. 17, 2024," which is when the electoral college votes.
14% : If Trump selected Rubio as his running mate, electors from Florida could not vote for both Trump and Rubio under the 12th Amendment.
