Kelly says he's seriously thinking about running for president [View all]

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) told CNN he is seriously considering running for president in 2028.

“I still think it needs to be the right person for the moment, and we don’t know what that moment is yet,” he said in a wide-ranging interview published Wednesday.

The retired astronaut and Navy officer is embroiled in a legal fight with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom Kelly sued earlier this month for attempting to censure him and lower his retirement rank after he participated in a video urging service members to reject illegal orders.
