Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is one of as many as 10 Democrats who may be in the discussion to be a potential running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris as the party fast-tracks its way through a sprint nomination process.
Kelly, first elected to the Senate in 2020 to fill out the remainder of Republican Sen. John McCain's term and then again in 2022 for a full six-year term, is on the short list of people being vetted, according to multiple media reports.
The 60-year-old senator, who is married to former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords, is a former Navy aviator and astronaut who has built an image as a moderate in the state that has drawn wide appeal.
