Mark Kelly as Democratic VP Pick Would Send Tough-on-Border Signal.

Mark Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona and former astronaut, is being considered as a potential running mate for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Kelly's experience running successfully in a border state and his willingness to take a centrist stance on immigration issues have made him stand out among other potential picks. His record on border issues could serve as a counterweight to Republican criticisms of Harris's border policies. Kelly has pushed his party on border issues while also working with the Biden administration when they align with his views. He has made repeated visits to the border and played a role in filling gaps in the border wall. However, some Democrats have criticized him for not signing on to certain bills, and some consider him less polished on the campaign trail. [Extracted from the article]
