Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona refrained from disclosing details on his potential role as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate but expressed his commitment to vigorously campaign for her across the nation. When questioned about his involvement with the campaign, Kelly chose not to elaborate, emphasizing his dedication to ensuring Harris's success in the upcoming election.
Kelly highlighted the active participation of his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, a prominent advocate for gun reform and survivor of gun violence, who recently campaigned for Harris in Pennsylvania and Michigan. While Harris is anticipated to campaign in various battleground states, commencing in Philadelphia, Kelly revealed his plans to focus on Arizona in the following week.
Emphasizing the significance of Arizona in determining the outcome of the presidential election and the control of the United States Senate, Kelly underscored the pivotal role of the state in shaping the country's future. When prompted about the qualities Harris should seek in a running mate, particularly in light of criticisms from Republicans, Kelly emphasized the array of exceptional candidates available while redirecting the focus to the broader implications for the nation.
