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 are never going to get someone in an exit poll saying “I will never vote for a woman for President”. So the exit polls will never tell the story. There will always be other reasons cited that don’t tell the whole story. Maybe if the exit polls was in the bar next door, during Happy Hour, and we can get them sufficiently lubricated first, then you might get the true story.
I know it is convenient for me, because it means that I can ignore all data, because it is all flawed. But I still know I’m right.
Okay Charlie.
