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”.
Have you lost the thread here? Do I need to pull a few quotes for context? My whole argument is that we can’t afford to sacrifice an election to a Trump or his ilk in the hopes of teaching democrats a lesson they aren’t going to get and won’t matter anyway once no one gets to vote for anything.
If OP’s thinking prevailed and that’s why Kamala lost (which I don’t believe is the case) then it would be the strategic thinking and the willingness to sacrifice people now for some imagined gains in the future that would be to blame.
