Both of Arizona’s senators seem more than happy to let presidential run speculation fly as they “consider” a campaign for the highest office in the land.
A recent poll by Yale Youth Polling found that registered Democrats view Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as the second-most electable potential presidential candidate, just behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
When presented with a theoretical matchup between Kelly and another candidate, 70% of polled voters said Kelly was more “likely” to win the 2028 presidential election against a Republican.
Gallego ranked as the 14th-most electable Democratic presidential option, with 41% of polled voters choosing him in head-to-head matchups.

Both Kelly and Gallego have floated the idea of a presidential run in the 2028 election, which is two and a half years away.
Instead of silencing Kelly, the move by the Trump administration gave Kelly a bump in fundraising dollars and name recognition to support a presidential run. »
