WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain won’t commit to running for a sixth term as senator, although he says he’s “leaning heavily” towards it.
“I’m certainly leaning heavily towards running,” the Arizona Republican and former presidential candidate told a couple of reporters Wednesday in a hallway interview in the Capitol.
He acknowledged that his stance “leaves the door open” to stepping aside.
Why won’t he commit to running?
“Because I don’t have to, to start with,” McCain, 78, said with a laugh.
