Mark Kelly on Harris Cabinet Role

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona recently spoke with Fox News Digital regarding his interest in a potential Cabinet position in a Kamala Harris administration, should she win the presidential election in November. During an interview following his address at the Veterans and Military Families Council meeting at the Democratic National Convention, Kelly emphasized his commitment to supporting the Democratic ticket, stating, "I'm focused on doing everything I possibly can over the next 77 days to make sure that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are successful on November 5th." While Kelly's military background as a 25-year Navy combat veteran positions him as a strong candidate for roles such as Secretary of Defense or Secretary of Homeland Security, he refrained from expressing any personal ambitions for a Cabinet role. Instead, he reiterated that his focus is on the broader goal of ensuring Democratic victories in the upcoming election. He criticized former President Donald Trump, questioning his respect for military families and service members, and underscored the importance of having a leader who genuinely cares for veterans. Kelly also highlighted the energy and enthusiasm surrounding Harris's nomination at the DNC, noting that he had never witnessed such excitement before. He expressed confidence that a President Harris would prioritize the modernization of the military and the welfare of service members across various global conflicts. As the election approaches, Kelly's remarks reflect a strategic focus on party unity and the significance of veteran issues in the campaign.
