      Honestly, I can’t think of anyone better right now on the political scene for the job.

      Focus on winning the senate and the house in the upcoming midterms we can worry about this later.

      I personally served with Mark (then Lt. Kelly) in a bomber squadron, on the USS Midway, in the late 1980s. I can tell you without a doubt, that he is an absolute Boy Scout. There are absolutely no skeletons in this man’s closet.
      Considering that, I will have to wait to see his platform, but at this moment he would have my vote, based on personal experience alone.

      I like Mark, however I feel like once he gets in he would be like another Biden and say that we need to try working across the aisle again blah blah blah. No, I want my candidate to go on tv and say “I’m going to rip the balls off of every Trump cabinet scumbag when i take the oath”. The dems will always try to make amends when the right would never do such a thing.

      If he gets elected, then he would be the first retired astronaut to become president.

      I’d vote for him. It blows my mind that Hegseth wants to set a standard that our service members are expected to follow illegal orders.

    9. pcpelste on

      I will see how he compares to the field. His public speaking needs work but he has a great story.
      Regardless, if he is the nominee I’ll vote for him. Please don’t stay at home or do a bullshit protest vote in the general election.

      I’m an Arizonan. As a representative of our state and as a human in general I like and respect Mark Kelly. But for myself and I think a pretty significant and growing portion of young American voters, we want and deserve someone who’s going to run on a platform rooted in a more substantial shift to the economic left than his.

      He has watched what it all means going under his feet. I would vote for him with my dying hand. I’m 64 and not doing well.

      My first question for Sen Kelly would be if he will hold accountable all of these criminals currently in office and their accomplices. I won’t be satisfied until we have some kind of complete reckoning that involves Nuremberg-style hearings even if you spend your entire first term prosecuting these criminals and fixing all the loopholes that have allowed this lawlessness and graft.

      I’d only vote for Newsom if he was the candidate in the general election. I’m not sold just yet on anyone in the primary (mostly cause no ones announced yet) but I could see myself voting for Kelly. Would be nice to have a president that is experienced with both military procedures and the scientific community

      >“I still think it needs to be the right person for the moment, and we don’t know what that moment is yet,” he said in a wide-ranging interview published Tuesday.

      >The retired astronaut and Navy officer is embroiled in a legal fight with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who Kelly sued earlier this month for attempting to censure him and lower his retirement rank after he participated in a video urging service members to reject illegal orders.

      >Arguing the Pentagon’s retaliation violates the independence of the legislative branch and an apolitical military, Kelly asked a federal judge to block the moves and declare them unlawful.

      >“The First Amendment forbids the government and its officials from punishing disfavored expression or retaliating against protected speech,” the 46-page complaint reads. “That prohibition applies with particular force to legislators speaking on matters of public policy.”

      >While speaking with CNN, Kelly defended himself a bit more colorfully, saying, “I’m a f—ing US senator. I have, in theory — in theory — supercharged First Amendment speech rights under the speech and debate clause, and they’re trampling on that.”
      …
      “I feel this obligation more so than anything I’ve ever done in my life, to fight back against an unhinged president and a weaponization of the federal government against the constitutional rights of a million retired veterans,” he told CNN.

      Welp, I guess they can stop investigating him now right? That’s how it works right?

    17. NoLemon5426 on

      No more moderates

      No more AIPAC candidates

      I won’t vote for anyone who voted yes on any Trump appointee.

      Mark Kelly seems like a decent person. But the old order is dead and we can accept nothing but the best.

    18. sedatedlife on

      Still way to moderate to get my vote in the primary i have already ruled out voting for Newsom. At this point of likely candidates i am leaning AOC or Pritzger.

    19. DrRealName on

      I don’t care about 2028. I care about primarying at least 50% of sitting incumbents for the democratic party to send a message that the old moderate ways are fucking over. That is our project 2026 and sadly, I don’t have a lot of faith in our voting base because they barely ever turn up for anything and barely ever know what is going on til its way too late.

    20. netflixissodry on

      I really hope he does. He’s the most qualified and normal possible candidate. Newsome is pushing hard but he’s very disliked by most swing voters I know. Me personally Im not a fan of him or find his Twitter antics parodying trumps all that amusing.

      Kelly should start pushing hard after the midterms.

    22. requiredelements on

      I will only vote for someone who promises to punish MAGA on day 1… Nuremberg style.

    23. Nebulous-Narrator on

      Him and Gabby have the potential to do some great things from the White House. We need to get him through the primary.

    25. apoca1ypse12 on

      We need someone with dignity and integrity in the office. Mark kelly has both of those and everything that lacking in Trump. Go get it Mark!

    28. gitarzan on

      I’ve seen enough fb ads by him over the last year to know he’s campaigning for president. I think he’d be a good no nonsense president. Gavin Newsome is entertaining with his trolling of Trump, but he seems a little frivolous by doing that.

      But I’d vote for a yellow dog before I’d vote republican.

    32. S1NGLEM4LT on

      Perfect is the enemy of good. Mark served his country both in the Navy and in the Senate. There is no person on earth who is going to check every box for every voter, but can we stop the infighting and realize that if we even get the chance to vote again after the dear leader’s had 3 more years, you’d better not „protest“ by not voting or electing another dictator. I swear to God some of these comments are insane. The government is currently going door to door doing ICE raids, in violation of the 4th amendment. It is stifling dissent of a sitting U.S. Senator and veteran in violation of the 1st amendment.

      If you wouldn’t vote for a decent human being, who’s served his country, and is fighting back against the regime because he’s not left enough or he’s not pro-Palestine enough – you deserve to live under the boot of the next dictator. We need someone who can build back the ashes of diplomacy and bring back actual rule of law again. I understand everyone has flaws – but if you didn’t vote against Trump, you voted for him.

    33. Ornery-Shoulder-3938 on

      Like Ken Jennings, I’m voting for whoever commits to prosecuting the ever living fuck out of everyone in the Trump administration.

    34. AgencyNew3587 on

      Kelly is my senator. He’s kind of meh. Not very progressive. Not good on labor issues. Pro business Democrat mostly and pro MIC. Gives establishment Democrat vibes.

    35. Alert_Reindeer_6574 on

      Whoever runs for president needs to make nominating Jack Smith as AG and going after the republican crime syndicate a part of their platform.

    36. chironomidae on

      Honestly sounds great, but I’m voting for whoever drops the „unity“ talk and vows to seek justice for what Trump and his cronies have done. Biden tried „unity“ and it got us a second Trump term.
