ABC News' Bob Woodruff Reports: Senator Tim Johnson, the South Dakota Democrat who suffered a near fatal brain hemorrhage last December, will seek reelection in 2008.

In his first television interview since his brush with death, Johnson will discuss his road to recovery and impending return to the Senate with ABC News' Bob Woodruff on ABC News "World News with Charles Gibson" at 6:30pm ET and then on "Nightline" at 11:35pm ET.

"I think the Johnson family understood that they were talking to someone who had been through a similar experience." Woodruff said of the exclusive interview.

"They had read my book and knew that my family faced similar struggles, not knowing if I would survive. In this case the Johnson family truly didn’t know if their husband and father would survive. The common bond of situational understanding helped make them comfortable talking to me, and I am glad I can bring our audience their story."
