Can a low-key Democrat win in 2028? | The Conversation

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) joins Dasha in San Diego for a conversation about the Iran war, the future of the Democratic Party and the possibility of a 2028 presidential run. The Arizona Democrat says voters weren’t necessarily embracing Democrats in the midterms so much as rejecting Republicans, and he argues his party needs to show it can improve people’s lives.

Kelly also discusses why he’s still weighing a presidential bid and whether a quieter political style can break through in today’s attention economy. Plus: his critique of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his response to President Trump’s threats against him.
