The issue is that even swing states that have republicans in high ranking positions don't tend to have republicans who are MAGA enough for a Trump ticket. The closest would be Kari Lake in AZ, but she didn't win her election so as much as Trump is allowed to claim he won and it was rigged, there is no guarantee he and/or his followers would give her the same leeway.

PA, MI, WI, and AZ have democrat governors so it'd be down to GA and Brian Kemp is a republican governor of a swing state Trump wants to flip back that is very known to not be of the "Whatever Trump says is reality" mold.  There is only a single republican senator in that group of states, too.  It seems like a really big ask for Trump to get a swing state VP while wanting an ultra MAGA VP is a bit like wanting all your groceries in one bag but wanting that bag not to be heavy.
