Summary
John Kennedy said he is considering a 2028 White House bid but has not decided, even as he plans to seek another Senate term from Louisiana.
Kennedy said he would run only if he no longer felt effective in Congress and believed the Republican field was weak enough that he could do a better job.
NBC's "Meet the Press" interview put him among a growing list of Republicans floating bids despite Vice President JD Vance's status as the party's likely 2028 front-runner.
Ted Cruz has already visited Iowa, while Rand Paul says he will decide after the midterms, underscoring early maneuvering in the next GOP presidential contest.
