Does anyone see former astronaut & future US Senator Mark Kelly as a future Presidential candidate?

Mark Kelly-D wins the 2020 AZ US Senate Special Election and the 2022 AZ US Senate Election. If Trump/Pence-R wins re-election in 2020, Kelly(D-AZ) seeks the Democratic Nomination for President in 2024, If a Democrat wins the 2020 US Presidential Election and decides to seek a second term in 2020, Kelly(D-AZ) runs for President in 2028.

Kelly(D-AZ) would be the first former astronaut to be elected President.

Has he expressed any interest in doing it? How about if he gets elected to the Senate first? The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #1

Nope. No. Let him WIN and SERVE several terms in Congress, and then ask, based on his record.

Nothing against the man as yet (and very little for him either at this point).
But I tell you what I'm NOT voting for .. is somebody that has celebrity status and name recognition. Screw that!
Show me what ya' got. Then we'll talk.
