Mark Kelly in Meet the Press interviews during 2024

On Abortion: Get rid of the filibuster to support abortion rights

KELLY: Yeah, I would. Yeah. When we were looking at voting rights legislation, I voted for that as well. I spent 15 years at NASA flying the Space Shuttle. If NASA had the rules of the United States Senate, the rocket ship would never leave the launchpad.

On Education: Peaceful protest okay but students should not be intimidated

Mark KELLY: Well, you have some individuals, a certain group of them, that show up to peacefully protest. And then you have others that want conflict. And in some cases, they've even assaulted police officers. And those individuals need to be dealt with appropriately. And students on campus should be able to go to classrooms, get their education, not be intimidated. And the rising antisemitism that we've seen is of great concern for me, and I think it should be for everybody in elected office.

On Foreign Policy: Israel has right to defend itself, but has made mistakes

KELLY: October 7th was unprecedented for the country of Israel. They have not been attacked like that from a terrorist group. And Israel has every right to respond in an appropriate way.

Q: Has Netanyahu made mistakes as he's conducted this war?

KELLY: He's absolutely made mistakes. A lot of them. I've talked to him about some of those specifically. If it was the U.S. military conducting this, I think you would see this would go much differently than it went.
