16. For those that know him, we would be thrilled, but he would have to want it really badly first.

Mark Kelly is up for re-election in 2028. I don't know if Arizona law allows him to run for both Senator and President at the same time. There are several others who might run as well. Jon is not even 40 yet. He has time, and I think he is making brilliant use of his time right now. I was talking to one of his colleagues on the phone this morning who is downright certain of Jon's re-election. I'm not quite THERE yet, but I do think it has never looked better for him. The media love him (for now, anyway), and he plays them like a fiddle. Actually, a Kelly-Ossoff ticket in 2028 would be a perfect formula for a 16 year Democratic White House run. But I am not a gambling man, and if I were, at this point, I wouldn't give that a 2% chance of becoming reality. No one has THAT much good fortune!
