Is Arizona's Kelly the antidote for what ails national politics? Many say 'yes'
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly has represented swing state Arizona since December 2020 when he defeated incumbent Martha McSally. He won his last election in 2022, defeating Blake Masters, who was backed by billionaire conservative activist Peter Thiel.

Democrats are facing two crucial questions: (1) Keep Joe or dump Joe; and (2) in the event of the latter, do you bump Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket or hold an open convention?
Most conversations between Democrats never get past these two questions. Instead, they dissolve into shouts of “You don’t know!” “Well, you don’t know either!” But if two Democrats could somehow agree that Harris should lead the ticket, the obvious follow-up question is: Who would be the best choice for vice president?
The media has started to throw out candidates for this scenario and they’re mainly the same ones bandied about for an open convention: Governors Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, and J.B. Pritzker.
