Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., argued that President Donald Trump is driving Democratic voters toward far-left candidates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after the New York Democrat topped a recent 2028 presidential primary poll.

Presidential Ambitions

Kelly has teased a run for president in 2028, recently saying in an NBC interview that it is part of an ongoing discussion with his family that he has ‘plenty of time’ to decide on.

A recent New Hampshire poll found Ocasio-Cortez was the top choice among likely Democratic voters for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination. Kelly placed third with 9% support, behind Ocasio-Cortez and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, while ahead of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Kelly said voters’ frustration with Trump’s policies is driving support for candidates like Ocasio-Cortez, while also criticizing the president more broadly.
