WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi announced on Friday that he will run for re-election next year, ending speculation that the six-term Republican was ready to retire.
Cochran, who turns 76 on Saturday, made the announcement in an interview with a Mississippi newspaper, and his office confirmed it. Cochran faces a primary challenge by conservative State Senator Chris McDaniel.
