Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) is planning to run against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his Senate seat.
Hayworth told the Associated Press that he stepped down as host of a conservative talk radio show in Arizona, clearing the way for a Senate run.
While Hayworth didn’t formally announce a run, he told the AP that “we’re moving forward to challenge John McCain.”
A Rasmussen poll last week showed McCain with a healthy lead against Hayworth in Arizona’s GOP primary: 53-31.
