Cindy McCain, Huckabee to travel to Rwanda
Associated Press
Cindy McCain and Mike Huckabee are among a bipartisan group headed to Rwanda next week to see how U.S. investments have helped some of the world's poorest people and what steps the next president can take to fight global poverty.
Former Senate Majority Leaders Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and Bill Frist, R-Tenn., will lead the delegation for the ONE campaign, an organization that uses grass-roots efforts to pressure world leaders to address poverty and preventable diseases.
Cindy McCain is the wife of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, and Huckabee is a former Arkansas governor who challenged McCain during the GOP presidential primaries. The two will join John Podesta and Leon Panetta, both of whom served former President Clinton as chief of staff. Former Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio, will also make the trip, which is planned for July 17-23.
The ONE campaign announced the trip Wednesday. The organization says it will not endorse a candidate for president.
