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”.
You’re getting downvoted, but I agree. Sadly, I don’t think a woman will win the presidential election in the U.S. for at least another decade or two. Too many sexists, and subconscious misogyny
Yes and also being Latina. Many people aren’t ready for that, either. Irrelevant if her heritage is Puerto Rican. Too many idiots don’t recognize that as American.
