Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly caused a stir within the Democratic Party’s vice-presidential selection process on Sunday when he briefly posted and then removed a social media update suggesting a shift in focus towards “serving Arizonans.”
The tweet that hinted at a potential withdrawal from consideration as the running mate of presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris mysteriously disappeared.

Whether it was from my time in the Navy and at NASA, serving in the United States Senate, or visiting our troops overseas: I’ve learned that when your country asks you to serve, you always answer the call. pic.twitter.com/pugQf8zCV5
