As threats against members of Congress skyrocketed in recent years, some lawmakers have required added security while going to and from their jobs on Capitol Hill.
But Sen. Mark Kelly may be the first lawmaker to need personal armed guards specifically because of threats made against him by the president of the United States.
Trump’s threats against Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly have only served to elevate the decorated combat veteran as a hero in the Democratic Party.
Mark Kelly is the closest thing the US has to a real Captain America. What a poor choice of enemy.

The same Mark Kelly who keeps voting for Trump nominees? Like a Federalist Society judge today?

Isn’t Mark Kelly just another center right do nothing democrat?
Just what we need. Sure no Trump tragedies, but nothing more. No universal healthcare or anything else that we actually need. Just status quo and letting the money quietly flow into corporate pockets.

If Kelly decides to run for president, it would clear the field.
I can’t think of anyone who could beat him.

Kelly is what authoritative reddit mods wish they could be irl.

A combat veteran and fucking astronaut. Even superficially he’s everything Trump isn’t. Trump’s entire sad pathetic life he’s been trying to cover up his fucked up head. Kelly just leaned in.
You could not have created a more polar opposite to Trump and the Gang Of Pedophiles if you tried to do so in a lab.

While the optics may not have been great if 2024 was Kelly and Walz running together. Either on top of the ticket would have been fantastic.

For the folks who say he’d be a good President. I’m not saying either way, but that’s why we have primaries. There are going to be a lot of candidates running, so let the best one win . Because of Joe Biden refusing to step down, we were stripped of that this past election and it obviously hurt us.

The dumbest American president picking a fight with a fighter pilot/Astronaut is going to make a great chapter in a history book one day.

I like Mark Kelly a whole lot.
AOC would be my choice of running mate for him
It is VERY early, but I would feel quite good about voting for someone who has spent a lifetime in service of his country like this.
