Trump Target Considering Presidential Run After Humiliating MAGA Goon

He embarrassed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the courts earlier this month.

Embattled Senator Mark Kelly is “seriously” considering running for president. The Arizona lawmaker has been in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump’s administration since last year, particularly Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, after he and five other senators released a video telling troops they didn’t have to follow illegal orders. Hegseth launched a crusade to demote him, but the case was dismissed in court in February. Now the former astronaut thinks he could offer something different from other candidates in 2028. “We are in some seriously challenging times right now,” he told the BBC. “I don’t know if I would be the best person in this job. I am a lot different than most of these other 100 senators.” He continued, “I’m one of the very few engineers; I’m the only person with a graduate degree in engineering in the United States Senate. I’ve got combat experience, that’s kind of rare. I spent 25 years in the military,” he said. “I didn’t start out in some state legislature somewhere. I don’t think of myself as a politician.” He added that it was a “serious decision. I just haven’t made it yet.”
