Carly Fiorina confirms it: she is considering challenging Sen. Tim Kaine

Carly Fiorina, the former GOP presidential candidate, is considering challenging Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) next year. Her comments on a Portsmouth-based radio show popular among party activists marks the first time that the Fairfax resident has spoken publicly about getting back into politics since the November election. “I’m certainly looking at that opportunity,” she told host John Fredericks on Tuesday about a Senate bid. “It’s a little early to be making that decision.” Fiorina and her husband moved to Lorton, in Fairfax County, in 2011 after a bruising loss in her bid to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).

She ended her presidential campaign one year ago this month and briefly jumped onto the ill-fated campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) as his vice-presidential pick. In the months since, Fiorina has been helping other Republicans, particularly in Virginia, where she stumped for everyone from Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) to little-known candidates for state legislature.

Kaine, who was Hillary Clinton’s running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket, will be seeking a second term in the Senate in 2018. A former governor whose place on the Clinton ticket helped him build a national profile, Kaine has returned to the Capitol Hill as an outspoken critic of President Trump’s agenda.

Other candidates are toying with running, as well. Laura Ingraham, the conservative radio host who supported Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) in his 2014 ouster of then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, confirmed on “Fox & Friends” last month that she is considering jumping into the race. Contacted by The Washington Post, she declined to comment further. Although Brat stopped short of endorsing Ingraham, he said she would do well in the race and took himself out of contention.

1. Good luck with that Snarly. nt

2. Her lies about Planned Parenthood got her an ignorant base

She was totally incompetent at HP. Plus, she is another narcissist obsessed with her ego and power. The female version of DT. Wacko too.

3. Is she just going to keep office shopping

until she lands one that sticks?

Perhaps she'd have a better chance in Texas or Alabama.

4. Tim Kaine is now the luckiest '18 candidate.

She couldn't win in Cali, and all she'll do here is eat up resources.

5. I am amazed at how many people

just try to "make a living" by running for office they are not really passionate about.

Like Carly. And Trumplethinskin.

6. I hope he doesn't move toward center with his votes.
