Oh, I hope she does pick him, Then watching the loony MSM spin this guy would be delicious.
Do it, Kamala.
Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D., Ariz.) messy divorce—including a restraining order filed against him by his ex-wife and his own request to have her put behind bars—is likely to come back to haunt him as Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris eyes him as a potential running mate.
While reports indicate that Harris’s team has privately met with both Kelly and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in consideration for the role, Wall Street insiders are reportedly speculating that Harris will choose a governor instead of Kelly. Axios reported on Wednesday that Harris has been ramping up her Wall Street fundraising, noting that the financial industry is restricted from donating to campaigns once a sitting governor is on the ticket.
If Kelly is passed over for the role, his business connections to China and tumultuous divorce could be to blame.
While Kelly has described his divorce as "amicable," court records contradict that description.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported in 2020 that Kelly asked a Texas court to jail his ex-wife, Amy Kelly, for six months, after she moved to a new town a few miles outside of their children’s school district. Kelly, a former astronaut and businessman, argued that his ex-wife’s move was a violation of their custody agreement, and he requested that she be "confined in the county jail for 179 days or until [she] complies with the order." He also requested that she "be placed on community supervision for ten years on release from jail" and that she be ordered to pay his attorney’s fees along with "postjudgment interest." Mark Kelly moved to seal the divorce records in 2022.
Amy Kelly also received a temporary restraining order against Mark Kelly in the case. Although such orders are not uncommon in Texas divorce cases, the move indicates that the split was not as civil as the senator has publicly described.
