Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who has been one of the fiercest Republican critics of the Iraq war, intends to make clear on Monday whether he will seek his party’s 2008 presidential nomination, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Mr. Hagel, 60, has flirted with a White House bid for months. But he has yet to travel this year to early voting states, build an extensive political organization or begin raising money to the degree other candidates have.
Mr. Hagel, whose second term in the Senate ends next year, could also announce his intention to seek re-election or to leave politics. His spokesman, Mike Buttry, declined to elaborate on the announcement, which is scheduled for Monday morning at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
