Full Title: Astronaut Mark Kelly announces Senate run against Republican Air Force pilot appointed to John McCain's seat as he praises wife Gabrielle Giffords for surviving 2011 shooting.
What the couple does not mention in the video is the gun-control initiatives they have championed in the wake of Giffords' shooting nor do they mention President Donald Trump, who won Arizona in the 2016 presidential race and played an huge role in the 2018 Senate campaign.
Kelly is a top Democratic recruit to take on Republican Martha McSally in one of the most closely contested Senate races of the 2020 election.
McSally was appointed to McCain's seat last year after she narrowly lost to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.

He’s The Wrong Stuff
McSally REALLY needs to become a more effective campaigner. She also needs to fire whoever did her ad campaign last year!
Mark Kelly?
Oh.....Mr. Giffords.........
I assume you mean McSally since she is the one holding that Senate seat now.
He’ll get it. McSally is a loser-proven.
McSalycain is a Bush League Republican, she is not getting on the Trump train.
From the picture it’s obvious that Mark Kelly looks up to his wife -literally!
Also, regarding comments about Arizona turning “Blue” -they are right. However, what’s happening in Arizona is the same thing that has already happened to a number of Western states, namely, a huge influx of people moving in from California plus rampaging numbers of illegal aliens. I’m afraid Arizona is going the same way as Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.
Sorry meant McSally not Ward!
Yes I corrected myself!
Immigration is turning AZ blue. Demography is destiny.
What makes this clown think he’s Senate material?
Wh says another GOP challenger wont run in the primary?
And what evidence do u have that that Kelly is a great challenger?
He spent too much time in space and has a mental disability.
and as a result of that time in LEO, has a very real visual disability.
McSally is going to have to up her game.
McSally got beat by Sinema, who was a terrible candidate (and will be a terrible Senator). She got her appointed seat as a Participation Trophy.
Is there no Republican in Arizona who can do better than that?
Legal immigration is changing AZ. Immigrants and their US born children drive 80% of the US population growth.
Sadly, I think the same thing is happening here in Idaho.
Navy Captain (O-6). His anti-gun fervor shows that he’s violated his Oath of Office.
If an Officer can’t be trusted to remain true to the Constitution, what can he be trusted with?
Oh, yeah. Nothing. Except further undermining the Constitution.
Shameful the way he’s pimped himself out. Must’ve been a real peach to work for.
All demographic trends are in THEIR favor unfortunately.
Leftist infestation is like the HIV virus. At first it’s no big deal but once it multiplies to a certain level it turns into full blow AIDS.
