Excitement is building around Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., who is being considered as a potential running mate for Vice President Harris in the 2024 election. On Sunday, Kelly added fuel to the fire with a cryptic post on social media that has everyone talking.
“Whether it was from my time in the Navy and at NASA, serving in the United States Senate, or visiting our troops overseas: I’ve learned that when your country asks you to serve, you always answer the call,” Kelly posted on X (formerly Twitter).
This post came on the same day Vice President Harris was reportedly meeting with potential vice presidential candidates, with a final decision expected soon. Alongside Kelly, the shortlist includes Govs. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, JB Pritzker of Illinois, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Kelly’s post has set off a frenzy of speculation online. One user exclaimed, “What is happening,” while another asked, “Holy s – – -! It’s you! Are you telling us you’ve been selected for VP, Mark Kelly?” The excitement continued to build, with some users eager to see Kelly potentially debate Republican VP pick JD Vance, referring to Kelly as an astronaut and Vance as a “former tech bro.”
Others expressed their impatience with the suspense. “My head is spinning. Is Sen. Mark Kelly still in the running or is he out of it?” one user wrote, accompanied by an animated GIF of Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka. “The palace intrigue is getting old. I hope we know who the running mate is by tomorrow at the latest.”
As the anticipation grows, all eyes are on the imminent announcement. Will Sen. Mark Kelly be the chosen one? Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
