After suffering a life-threatening brain hemorrhage last December, it's been speculated that Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) may choose to retire after 2008. However, in an interview with ABC News set to air tonight, Johnson laid those rumors to rest:
Senator Johnson talks candidly with Mr. Woodruff about his daily struggles and his determination not only to return to the Senate next week, but to seek re-election in 2008.
In addition, Johnson is hosting his first public event since his hospitization. The “Thank You, South Dakota” event will be held in Sioux Falls tonight.
