Sen. Mark Kelly Slams Trump, Calls Him a 'Scared Old Man'

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., had strong words for former President Donald Trump, calling him a "scared old man" and insisting he is "not going to change." Kelly's comments come after Trump's controversial interview with the National Association of Black Journalists, where he made remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity.

"I think those were the comments of a desperate, scared old man who, over the last week especially, has been having his butt kicked by an experienced prosecutor. And I think he's worried... His comments are not unexpected for him." - Sen. Mark Kelly

Kelly, a potential VP contender, implied that Trump is a racist and that his comments are indicative of a deeper problem. He also criticized Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, for their stance on border security, calling it an empty political gesture.

"It's pretty obvious to me why he's doing this... It's who he is. Yeah, sure. But it's who the guy is. He's always been like this. He's not going to change." - Sen. Mark Kelly
