It's kind of there. From Perplexity.ai

"There is no explicit provision in the United States Constitution that outright prohibits a presidential candidate and a vice presidential candidate from being from the same state. However, the Twelfth Amendment does create a significant obstacle: when electors in the Electoral College cast their votes, at least one of their votes (for president or vice president) must be for someone who is not an inhabitant of the same state as themselves[2][3][5].

"This means if both candidates are from the same state, the electors from that state cannot vote for both of them, potentially costing the ticket crucial electoral votes from that state[3][5][7]. While not an outright ban, this rule makes it highly impractical for both candidates to be from the same state."
