Arizona is not a solidly blue state, and Mark Kelly is unusually popular for a senator.

Arizona Democrats also don’t have that deep of a bench to pull out a candidate that’s a lock for a statewide race.

I’m not saying it’s impossible for any Democrat to win the election for Mark Kelly’s seat, I am saying it’s a significant risk that they probably won’t want to take.

And that’s before taking into account that Arizona Democrats already have a handful with the seat being left open by their current manic pixie dream senator.

Kelly’s seat would go to a Dem replacement. They wouldn’t have to run for reelection until 2026 in a special election. The seat would be safe for at least 2 years out. Arguably a gamble worth taking to make sure we still have elections come 2026.

Assuming Harris wins, the first midterm federal election is usually ugly for the president’s party, so it’d be a risk. Especially coming off of this election where dems will have to be extremely lucky just to hold onto the majority (even with the vp tiebreaker).

Zipitydew ,

If Trump wins much of that is irrelevant by 2026 anyway though.

Of course, but I don’t think that him as the VP candidate changes the odds of that much relative to the other contenders who don’t come with that risk.

VP candidates don’t usually matter much in an election unless they’re freaks with a couch fetish or something weird like that.

Is there a quick tldr of what Kelly wants to do regarding Ukraine?

TexasDrunk ,

TL;Dr: Something.

Seriously though, this was his official statement back in December: …senate.gov/…/kelly-statement-after-senators-meet…

Thanks, it says

“… Abandoning Ukraine at this moment without the ammunition and weapons they need would be a massive gift to Putin and a strategic error for our own national security. Time is running out, and I will continue working with my colleagues in the Senate to find the necessary agreement to move this critical aid package forward.”

Can I presume that Vance said basically the opposite?

TexasDrunk ,

I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.

Well it’s a question of how deeply the US should be involved, rather than Russia vs Ukraine per se.

TexasDrunk ,

Vance’s stance is that he doesn’t care. I can extrapolate that means he is against helping, so no involvement. Because even if he didn’t care but wanted to give Russia a black eye, he’d pretend to care.

solrize ,

Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks.

We’re so lucky! This could be the next dynamic due that the country really needs! 8,500,000,000 x Trumps < dog poop < rock < chimp < dolphin < really smart 3rd grader < grad student < Biden + Kamela < Kamela + Mark. I assume the world population is 8.5 billion because I would never vote Trump so he himself would have to vote himself in as the last person around.

Anyway, plus Mark is a minority! He might be the first Albino dolphin American astronaut to ever become president! LOL. All I. Good fun! Good luck you two! I’m counting on you!
