US Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has said he will “seriously consider” running for president in 2028 as he battles the Trump administration over a video in which he urged military personnel to refuse illegal orders.
The Arizona senator, who was accused of “seditious behaviour” by Donald Trump over the November clip, said he and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, received “many” death threats after the president’s comments.
“We get them on a weekly basis now,” he told BBC Newsnight. “We had to get security to protect us 24 hours a day.”
Asked if he was considering a White House run, the retired Navy captain said he was considering it “because we’re in some seriously challenging times”.
As long you understand that appeasing your perspective on who the candidate needs to be isn’t important, we should be fine.
If you are BNMW/ Blue MAGA/ ABWD, whatever you want to call it: We don’t need to cater to your perspective. You’ll vote for anyone. Great. We appreciate you taking a back seat, because when previously your perspectives have been centered in the party, Democrats lose those elections to facsists or neoconservatives.
As long as you can accept that you don’t matter when it comes to who Democrats pick to run as president, we’re all good.
You’re not wrong
Getting downvoted for being right about the DNC, yep it’s .world’s politics forum.
I think Gavin’s going to do well even if the left is doing all the work spreading the right’s propaganda about him.
But maybe Bernie will win the primaries and it’ll usher in a new golden age and we’ll overthrow capitalism.
Gavin gives the whole thing to whomever the red fascist is. Period. Just fucking do what you are told this time and we’ll be fine.
