Sen. John Kennedy says he’s considering running for president
The Louisiana Republican said he hasn’t decided and that right now he’s planning to run for re-election in 2028.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on John Kennedy’s interest in a possible presidential run, and both identify him as a Louisiana Republican. NBC News emphasizes that he has not decided and is planning to seek re-election in 2028, while The Independent foregrounds a more informal, quoted version of his comments and says he would enter the race only if a crowded GOP field emerged.
