WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, a five-term Senate veteran and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will enter the 2008 presidential race on Thursday, party officials said.
Dodd, who considered a White House bid in 2004 but decided against it, will announce his candidacy on an early-morning radio show just hours after President George W. Bush's national address on Iraq.
Dodd has been a frequent visitor in recent months to states with influential early nominating contests like Iowa and New Hampshire as he pondered a presidential bid. Officials said he would formally declare his candidacy and make a visit to Iowa later on Thursday.
