Mitt Romney To Officially Announce Presidential Bid On June 2
De facto 2012 Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney is poised to announce he is officially throwing his hat into the ring on Thursday, June 2, in New Hampshire. More details are expected from Romney’s camp as the date approaches. He would enter the race as a frontrunner, though facing the significant hurdle of explaining the universal health care plan he implemented in Massachusetts.
ABC News has a few more details on the announcement:
A source close to the campaign says Romney will make the announcement at a BBQ at the Bittersweet Farm in Stratham, New Hampshire at noon.
Romney’s camp tweeted just a few minutes ago: “Making it official next week at the Scamman Farm in New Hampshire.”
The announcement comes at the tail end of a day chock full of Republican presidential news: Sarah Palin is poised to begin her “One Nation” bus tour on Sunday, Tim Pawlenty confused Iran and Iraq (but then rebounded with this shockingly snarky tweet), Herman Cain went all-in on his “inspiration and excitement” bid, and Rod Blagojevich told America he could spin a basketball on any one of his fingers (that last one is a joke). Quite the news cycle to announce an official bid in.
Much of Romney’s perceived strength comes both from his heightened name recognition thanks to his 2008 run and his ability to fundraise among major Republican donors. More details are expected as the date approaches.
