Tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell is considering a run for Senate.
The Wilmington News Journal reports O'Donnell is interested in challenging Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who defeated her in a 2010 special election for Senate.
O'Donnell tweeted about a potential Senate run Tuesday, hitting Delaware's Senate Minority Whip Greg Lavelle (R-Sharpley) for saying she needed to decide on a run right away.
“The decision to run is a big one, particularly for a United States Senate seat," Lavelle said, according to the Wilmington News Journal. "There’s a lot of variables involved. But to run a serious race, or give somebody else the ability to run a serious race, you don’t [decide] in May of 2014. You do that now."
"Lavelle's statement that candidates can't decide to run in 2014 until I make a decision suggests he's stuck in back-room deal mindset," O'Donnell tweeted in response. "Healthy grassroots allows anyone to run & good leadership makes sure the party isn't divided after a vigorous primary!"
O'Donnell went on to list family as a major factor in her decision on a potential Senate run:
O'Donnell won a Delaware senate primary in a 2010 special election, but became embroiled in controversy after comments she'd made in the past about dabbling in witchcraft were revealed on Bill Maher's HBO show "Real Time."
