Bush To Announce That Agriculture Secretary Will Resign
Bush cabinet secretary to jump ship in effort to fill critic's shoes RAW STORY
Published: Thursday September 20, 2007

President Bush will announce at 9:30 AM ET that his Agriculture Secretary, Mike Johanns, will resign his cabinet post and run for the Senate seat being vacated by vehement anti-war critic Chuck Hagel (R-NE).

Hagel is retiring.

According to The Hill, "The decision sets up a potential battle with former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, who is mulling a run. Johanns would first face challenges in the GOP primary from several candidates, including state Attorney General Jon Bruning."

"A former Nebraska governor and Lincoln mayor, Johanns only became a Republican in the late 1980s. He became Agriculture secretary in 2005," the Hill adds.
