The U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, who was on the shortlist to be Donald Trump's running mate in the upcoming presidential elections in November and ultimately was not chosen, spoke about the reasons that led to that decision.

Rubio, who is present at the National Convention of the Republican Party concluding tonight in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, said that the main reason for not being selected for the position was that he and Trump reside in the same state.

"There were signs that it would be a challenge," Rubio said, "and with so many other good options available, why take that risk?" reports the publication Politico, which is providing coverage of the important Republican event.

According to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, the candidates for president and vice president must come from different states, otherwise they will lose the electors from their shared state of residence.

The Republican senator stated that he and Trump had constant conversations about the residency issue, "especially during the last 10 days."

It was the former president himself, nominated by the Party last Monday to campaign to reach the White House, who called him and told him that he would not be on the ballot.

Now many people, Politician asserts, are considering Rubio as a possible candidate for Secretary of State in a future Trump administration.

Finally, the former president opted for Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, a 39-year-old young man who is not only a politician but also an entrepreneur and writer.

"After long deliberations and reflections, taking into account the enormous talent of many others, I have decided that the most suitable person to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance, from the great State of Ohio," Trump stated on his Truth Social network.

He highlighted his running mate's educational background, stating that "he graduated from Ohio State University and earned his degree from Yale Law School, where he was an editor for The Yale Law Journal and president of the Yale Law Veterans Association."

During the campaign, she stated, she will heavily focus on the people she fought for so brilliantly, American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and beyond.

Rubio precisely described Vance's proposal for vice president as "a very good choice."
