Very few Republicans will abandon him. So tired of hearing this. We've got a hard slog the next few months and need to put everything we have into it.

We are not concerned with real Republicans arlyellowdog Jul 2024 #36

Indeed, nearly 75 million of them voted for TCF in 2020 Wednesdays Jul 2024 #42

Not when it comes to AZ. McCain republicans have already started campaigning for Biden. And now Harris. FlyingPiggy Jul 2024 #64

That's good to hear Orrex Jul 2024 #68

If only we could clone Mark Kelly SocialDemocrat61 Jul 2024 #12

I forgot about scott kelly. He will be great!! Replacing him w his twin brother is brilliant actually FlyingPiggy Jul 2024 #63

Don't forget his replacement would have 4 years before re-election. OnDoutside Jul 2024 #55

I am also concerned about AZ legislative shenanigans could possibly mess with that BumRushDaShow Jul 2024 #60

Oh...he's been through 2 elections. His first election was 2020, Then 2022. His term won't expire until 2028. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #69

It's not so much him but a replacement for him later down the road BumRushDaShow Jul 2024 #73

But still? She will appoint a Democrat. And with Kelly on the presidential ticket there's a possiblity... brush Jul 2024 #56

Yeah but... BumRushDaShow Jul 2024 #61

Yes and she could nominate Scott Kelly, Mark's brother, who is equally impressive FlyingPiggy Jul 2024 #74

I know Mark had that popularity along with his wife Gabby and Scott might or might not want to do it BumRushDaShow Jul 2024 #75

Yep malaise Jul 2024 #6

If its not Shapiro I'd be happy with him. He'd bring AZ oldsoftie Jul 2024 #8

He loves his wife. Sanity Claws Jul 2024 #9

Kelly would be a power move for sure bucolic_frolic Jul 2024 #17

I would prefer someone that's not considered Emile Jul 2024 #18

In theory, so would I... but a moderate helps assure we beat Trump, and that's the priority. nt thesquanderer Jul 2024 #40

Maybe in eight years or more we can find the courage? Emile Jul 2024 #58

I had more courage when the opposition was people like John McCain or Mitt Romney... thesquanderer Jul 2024 #62

His senate seat is too important pinkstarburst Jul 2024 #46

2028 in the case of Kelly, what quality of candidates are there ? Someone mentioned Fuentes ? OnDoutside Jul 2024 #53

Kelly didn't barely win. He won by 5 percentage points. He is wildly popular and accepted across the aisle. FlyingPiggy Jul 2024 #65

If, as expected, Repugs go hard on Kamala over the border, Mark Kelly becomes even more important as a pick. OnDoutside Jul 2024 #54

I'm rooting for Andy epreic01 Jul 2024 #57
