Sen. John Kennedy says he’s weighing GOP presidential bid in 2028
Kennedy said he would consider a bid if he thinks he could do a better job, while no candidate has formally entered the race.
- On Sunday, Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy told NBC's "Meet the Press" he is considering a 2028 presidential run, though his immediate focus remains Senate re-election.
- Kennedy explained he would consider a presidential bid only if he feels ineffective in the Senate or "if a bunch of goobers run" on the Republican side and he believes he could do better.
- Predicting a crowded field, the lawmaker said former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will run for president, adding that both parties would benefit from a full slate of candidates.
- Vice President JD Vance told NBC News last week it was "really obvious to me" that Sen. Ted Cruz is running in 2028, while Kennedy declined to compare himself to Vance when questioned by moderator Kristen Welker.
