Republican Senator John McCain says he is “seriously considering” and “leaning towards” running for reelection.

“We’re getting a lot of their input as to whether I should run for reelection or not. They know that I am seriously considering it and leaning towards it,” he said after meeting with a group of supporters, the Arizona Republic reports.   

McCain acknowledged that he would be facing a very difficult primary campaign from the right. “You always have to plan for a very, very tough campaign with good competition.”

The Arizona Republican is expected to chair the powerful Armed Services Committee in the new Republican-controlled Senate.

As Armed Services Committee chairman, McCain would have an influential role in spearheading hawkish policies from Congress.

He has frequently criticized the Obama administration on a range of foreign policy issues, including the troop drawdown from Iraq, diplomacy with Iran, and a reluctance to supply lethal arms to Ukraine and militants in Syria.

McCain was first elected to the Senate in 1986, was re-elected in 1992, 1998, 2004 and 2010. He was the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2008 and would be 80 at the time of the 2016 election.

  1. “They know that I am seriously considering it and leaning towards it,”

    If this traitorous piece of communist filth is “leaning towards” anything, it’s a straightjacket.

  2. Considering he should have been put in a prison cell for treason a long, long time ago………..this is no surprise, he is a Pimp for Nuttyahoo…he gets most his money from AIPAC………he is a traitor to the USA and Americans in every way imaginable. McCain – prime example of just how screwed up this country is. McCain the poster boy for war, death & destruction by deception around the world,……..he’s even worse than Obama….ok, that’s impossible, I agree…………let’s say he is almost as bad as Obola/Obama…the Monumental Fruad of all time…

  3. “Sen. McCain says he is ‘leaning towards’ 2016 reelection”

    Insane McCain will lean in any direction for support… it helps to keep him from falling down. I’n surprised that Arizona keeps electing him.

    Scary thought just considering the damage he could do as President. He’d make Obama look mild by comparison.
