Former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, who dumped $50 million of her own money on a failed Senate bid in Connecticut in 2010, is preparing to announce that she will again run for Senate next year, according to The New York Times.
Citing two Republican sources, the Times said that McMahon will announce her candidacy in the coming week.
Last year, McMahon ran unsuccessfully to replace retiring Sen. Chris Dodd, ultimately losing to then Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. McMahon, who had never run for office before and who had little name recognition statewide, utilized her robust fortune to quickly build a formidable campaign operation and win the Republican primary, beating out former Rep. Rob Simmons.
In the general election, McMahon started off as a huge underdog in deep-blue Connecticut, but she considerably closed the gap between herself and Blumenthal amid allegations that Blumenthal had overstated his military service during the Vietnam War. However, the waning days of the campaign saw McMahon's popularity plummet, and Blumenthal wound up winning by a comfortable margin.
McMahon will now be running to fill the vacancy that will be left when Sen. Joe Lieberman (I) retires at the end of his term.
The contest for the Democratic nomination is already underway, as former Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz and Rep. Chris Murphy have both formally declared their candidacies.
