A pleasant alternative to the current Pedicide Regime commanded by No-Rank Bonespurs.

I like Kelly but we need to see him take bold stances on things like healthcare, climate, and economic justice before coronating him as the 2028 nominee. Being a moderate from Arizona doesn’t automatically make you the right candidate, show us the vision first.

He’s top of my list of preferred candidates

We need veterans in office again, people who understand what the values of this country are, not businessmen who focus only on their checkbook

I’ll vote for him instantly. A class act and national hero.

Kelly-Cortez 2028
thinpile on
He’s legit.

I’d prefer someone younger but I’d vote for him in the general election hands down.
Sensitive-Flamingo84 on
Yes, a veteran who is level-headed and intelligent. Would have my vote.
gtatlien on
He’s another guy that will try to out centrist the field
WentBrokeBuyingCoins on
This really depends if he has the same message as Ocasio-Cortez. For me anyway

Astronaut for President – LETS FUCKING GO
Orion14159 on
Better than Newsom

He’s towards the bottom of the list for me. He’s a proud moderate, and a moderate can win in 2028, but will almost certainly not resolve our problems (or worse, stand in the way of solutions) and end up guaranteeing an R win in 2032. We need transformative change, not a guy ExxonMobil called “crucial” to the company; not an opponent of M4A or Green New Deal; not a guy who was one of 3 Senate Ds to confirm Lee Zeldin to the EPA; and not a guy who called Biden weak on the border. I’m also still very uncertain about his stance on the PRO Act.
I know he’d be strong on gun control what with his wife, I like he at least supports the public option for healthcare (which is a much more expensive than M4A), I like that he’s pro-choice (the bar is low), and I like that he’d end the filibuster if he was in the Senate to pass the John Lewis VRA. But that’s not enough for the presidency.

Mark Kelly is not my first choice for President, but if he wins the primary, I would happily vote for him over any Republican.
RLTizE on
I will vote for any Dem but I’m tired. We need better and different.
Kalelisagod on
I disagree with his stance on military spending but he is where I am on economic policy, climate, border and immigration and his eduction policies are exactly what I think we need. Can say he would be a solid candidate all around.
SweetAlyssumm on
I think he’s more realistic than AOC. White, male, astronaut, good age group.

Jack Smith as DA
Healthcare Plan/Medicare for All
Have the balls to say it’s a genocide.
Do that and I’ll seriously consider you for President.
diastolicduke on
Will he bring prosecutions to make sure this never happens again? There needs to be trials and prison sentences
Tall-Ad-8571 on
I’ll vote for whoever runs on prosecuting and locking up the current administration… (due process and all)
DaraParsavand on
He would likely not be my primary choice due to his position on Israel and Medicare for All. If it’s going to be a senator, I much prefer Van Hollen (though I have no idea if he would run). At least Van Hollen has signed on to the Medicare for All bill and not actively spoken against it as Kelly has. And given this [link ](https://marylandmatters.org/2025/12/04/war-of-words-over-israel-heats-up-between-van-hollen-and-halber/)and in other things I’ve heard, Van Hollen is much closer to the right attitude about Israel.
Being in California, it is completely irrelevant how I vote in the general. If I don’t really like the Democrat (which is almost always, but I made an exception for Obama the first time), I usually vote Green there. But I encourage anyone in any of the 7 swing states and maybe a few more to suck it up and vote for whoever the nominee is. But I sure hope we pick somebody with a decent chance this time.

AOC with Mark Kelly VP.

yay another centrist!
TemporalColdWarrior on
We need to stop catering to the center and right. We need a fresh maybe even revolutionary candidate. Mark Kelly has given no indication that is that guy (ditto a ton of the moderate governors and southern democrats).
UpDown on
You’re ineligible to be president unless you’re pushing hard for Epstein consequences
wibble17 on
He was one of the defectors who caved in the budget shutdown. Forever disqualifying with me at least in the primary.
A little more moderate than I’d like as well.
CatzonVinyl on
I’ll vote for anyone over Vance but he’ll never get my primary vote.
Dems will give us a moderate whose only appeal is “I’m not Trump” and we will lose again so I guess time to get ready for that
KindheartednessLast9 on
Fuck. No. No more oil puppet neoliberal goons. Run a real progressive, stop letting the Overton window slide right.
pillbox_purgatory on
Nope…Centrist Democrats have failed time and time again.

Early favorite for me, ahead of Newsom. Will have to see who else runs before he definitely gets my primary vote, but I’ll be happy to see him in the general
