Chafee Will Enter Democratic Presidential Race

Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee has scheduled an afternoon speech at the George Mason University at which a staffer with knowledge of the governor’s plans tells Bloomberg he will announce his White House bid during the event.

Chafee has indicated he will target primary frontrunner Hillary Clinton on her vote to authorize the Iraq War when they both served in the Senate: “I don’t think anybody should be president of the United States that made that mistake.”
