US Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has said he will “seriously consider” running for president in 2028 as he battles the Trump administration over a video in which he urged military personnel to refuse illegal orders.
The Arizona senator, who was accused of “seditious behaviour” by Donald Trump over the November clip, said he and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, received “many” death threats after the president’s comments.
“We get them on a weekly basis now,” he told BBC Newsnight. “We had to get security to protect us 24 hours a day.”
Asked if he was considering a White House run, the retired Navy captain said he was considering it “because we’re in some seriously challenging times”.
Both she (and Harris) lost because their votes were not in the right zip codes. Biden got those votes. Biden was not a magically better candidate than either woman. There’s only one explanation that makes any sense at all.
Some voters may not even be aware of it. They might not even realize they are giving male candidates the benefit of the doubt, while assuming the worst about female candidates.
Did anyone ever say they couldn’t vote for Bill Clinton or GWB because they didn’t like the way they laughed?
Okay, so let’s get some data behind your Ludacris’ Area Codes Theory of Misogynistic Voting caused the loss of the 2016 and 2024 elections then.
You’re anecdotal evidence of some guy who said they would never vote for Hilary or that one guy who went and said they didn’t like her laugh, the only thing that proves is that America has people that are misogynistic, which of course is true, but isn’t proof of your premise that women can’t win elections. I can point out people that said they wouldn’t vote for her because Harris was black but that doesn’t provide enough of a basis that she lost due to racism. Anecdotal stories does not equal causation.
Here’s some more supporting evidence that Americans are becoming more open to women in office.

Some highlights because I’m sure you won’t read:
So again data allows that women still have a hurdles but supports that a woman can win the presidency and I’ll continue to vote for a qualified progressive women in the primaries to counter your misogynistic vote.
Sigh. Here’s my data that proves that zip codes matter:
2020:
2024:
See the difference? It was only a handful of voters in certain states that did it. Why did they change? You can’t really tell me there was any meaningful difference between the first election and the second one on a matter of policy.
Dude, you’ve shown that some counties that voted Biden flipped for Trump.
No one is disputing that.
Now show the evidence, e.g. exit polls, study, some form of empirical evidence that backs your claim that it was hated of women that caused these places to flip to support. You’re still right at Charlie Kirk correlation equals causation territory. Again, I saw people say that they hated Harris for her being black and these electoral maps can easily prove my theory that Ramadan was the main cause of why she didn’t win via zip codes by your logic.
I can also point out that Dearborn Muslims, a crucial demographic to one of those flipped zip codes you croon about, voted Trump because they felt slighted by Harris and had a large abandon Harris movement and was one outside factor off why she lost. That same place is also represented by Rashida Tlaib, vagina owner, would you still say that the movement and loss of support is due to hatred of vaginas?
You offer no proof, no actual supporting data outside of your feels and this is not worth furthering this dead end debate on your feelings.
You are never going to get someone in an exit pool saying “I will never vote for a woman for President”. So the exit polls will never tell the story. Maybe if the exit polls was in the bar next door, during Happy Hour, and we can get them sufficiently lubricated first
I know it is convenient for me, because it means that I can ignore all data, because it is all flawed. But I still know I’m right.
Okay Charlie.
