Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said Sunday he is weighing a run for the White House in 2028, though he made clear he has not decided anything and remains focused on keeping his Senate seat.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Kennedy was asked by host Kristen Welker whether he is considering a presidential campaign, given the steadily growing list of potential 2028 contenders and his own travel to early-voting states like New Hampshire.
“My plans right now are to run for reelection,” Kennedy said, according to a clip flagged by Breitbart News. “But as I’ve said before, if I don’t think I can be effective in the Senate anymore, I would consider it.”
The Louisiana senator then reached for a country-music reference to describe his openness to the idea, quoting the Judds: “What’s the old Judds song, ‘Why not me on a rainy day? Why not me to love your blues away?'” He quickly added, “But I haven’t made a decision.”
