Stormy Daniels' Run for U.S. Senate Is Unclear

NEW ORLEANS — Stormy Daniels will announce very soon whether she plans to continue her run for the U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana.

Last May, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, announced the formation of a Senate Exploratory Committee.

Some of her fans began a movement to draft the star into running against Republican Senator David Vitter after he was involved in a sex scandal.

But according to Chron.com, there has been little activity on the campaign front. The political website TeamStormy created to promote and possibly fund the campaign hasn’t been updated in more than six months.

During various appearances last July, Daniels spoke on a number of issues, but never officially announced her Senate run.

Brian Welsh, one of her exploratory committee officers, said that there will be an official statement about her plans “very soon.”

In July 2007, Vitter’s phone number was found in the records of a notorious Washington madam. Vitter later apologized and asked for forgiveness.

The incident sparked Daniels’ run for the U.S. Senate seat.

There was no response from Daniels’ team at the time of publishing.
