Retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré has again dismissed rumors that he’ll challenge Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) in next year’s election.
“I’m not running for Senate. I’ve never said I was running for Senate,” Honoré told CNN Monday afternoon. But he didn’t rule out future runs for political office.
“There are things that I dream about, but they will remain to be dreams until I get my family moved and we figure out what we’re gonna do in the next few years,” he said. He wouldn’t elaborate.
BayouBuzz.com reported that the retired general was considering challenging Vitter in the Republican primary, after Honoré announced Saturday he would move back to Louisiana from Georgia in the coming months.
But this is the second time in two days that Honoré, best known for organizing military relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina, has tried to quash the rumors.
