Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is emerging as a strong contender for Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, according to Francisco Pedraza, an associate professor at Arizona State University. Kelly’s diverse background, including his military and astronaut experience, and his moderate political stance make him appealing, especially in key swing states. His broad appeal is bolstered by his popularity among Latino voters and his moderate views on immigration and environmental issues. Pedraza notes Kelly’s potential to attract a wide range of voters, from Democrats to independents.
