The seat'll go red if 2024 is a second red wave, but in 2030, that's gonna go blue. Ruben Gallego or Gabby Giffords would be the best D nominees. The electable R bench in AZ is looking awful thin. To think a very conservative senator like Jon Kyl once was re-elected with such ease. McCain had the Maverick image in his early elections and he became very popular on TV around 2000, and then of course he ran for President.
Mark Kelly is an astronaut for cryin' out loud so that's major cred for a Senate run...we've had a few NASA guys in the Congress I believe since the Space Program started.
Trivia Q: How many astronauts have been either Democratic or Republican nominees for House or Senate (U.S. Congress)? (i don't recall any in the blue waves of '06 and '18)
