Goldwater enters race for Senate Republican leader
Barry Goldwater of Arizona unexpectedly enters the race for Senate Republican leader sending letters to 87 GOP colleagues asking for support as the caucus set to pick a new minority leader on January 4. Senator Robert Griffin of Michigan had announced his candidacy earlier to succeed retiring Hugh Scott, with Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee also expected to enter. An aide cited Goldwater’s belief the GOP needs a national voice with Democrats in the White House.
