Adam Kinzinger political future
[link=https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/04/politics/adam-kinzinger-exit-interview/index.html]Adam Kinzinger isn’t ruling out a 2024 presidential bid as he considers his future after the House[/link]
Acknowledging his potential career options and timeline for the first time [link=http://www.cnn.com/2021/10/29/politics/adam-kinzinger-not-running-reelection-illinois-republican/index.html]since announcing his retirement from the House last week[/link], Kinzinger told CNN he is considering at least a statewide run if not a presidential one, and that he’ll “probably” make his decision on whether to launch a bid for governor or senator by January.
A presidential bid would be a long shot for the Illinois Republican, who voted to impeach Trump and has become one of the most vociferous critics of the former President and his own party.
But a statewide race in Illinois could be just as much of an uphill climb. In either primary, Kinzinger would have to win over a base that is [link=https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/13/politics/congressional-republicans-trump-president-2024/index.html]still very much beholden to Trump[/link]. In a general election, he’d be running in a fairly blue state, where few Republicans have won statewide races in the past decade or so, including former Gov. Bruce Rauner and former Sen. Mark Kirk.[/QUOTE]
