John Kennedy Mulls 2028 Run

Sen. John Kennedy said he is considering running for president in 2028, but has not made a decision. He currently plans to seek reelection to the Senate that year and said he would look at a presidential bid if he no longer thought he could be effective there. The 2028 election will be the first since 2012 in which Donald Trump is not the Republican nominee. No major candidate has formally entered the race, though politicians in both parties have not ruled it out. Vice President JD Vance is widely viewed as a likely Republican candidate, but Kennedy declined to compare himself with Vance. He said fuller fields would help both parties and joked about “a bunch of goobers” as rivals.
