U.S. Sen. John McCain will speak at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington next week as part of a buildup to officially announcing his presidential candidacy later this month.
McCain, a Republican from Arizona who lost the GOP presidential nomination to George W. Bush in 2000, will speak at VMI on Wednesday, according to a press release from his campaign office. No time or location was provided.
While at VMI, McCain is expected to address his commitment to winning the war in Iraq as part of a series of policy speeches he plans to give this month. The speeches will culminate with a campaign tour beginning April 25 in New Hampshire and concluding April 27 in Arizona, with stops in South Carolina and Iowa.
