Sen. John Kennedy announces reelection bid, draws Trump endorsement
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) has announced his reelection campaign for the Senate and received former President Trump's endorsement for it.
"Five years ago, I made a promise, a promise that I took seriously. I told you that I would work to put our country back on track and make America great again," Kennedy said in the announcement Tuesday.
"In the last five years, we've accomplished a lot, but now the socialists are racing to undo it all. So, my job-our job-isn't finished. Today, I'm announcing that I'm running for re-election for the United States Senate," he added.
Kennedy was first elected in 2016 with 61 percent of the vote in his state. As a Democrat who became a Republican, he served as the Louisiana State Treasurer for 17 years before his Senate run.
