Huckabee Set to Announce 2016 Decision Tonight on Fox News

Is former Gov. Mike Huckabee running for president?

Well, let’s see. In January, he ended his self-titled Fox News program to consider a run (and to avoid any potential conflicts of interest should he decide to do so). And then on Friday morning, his spokesman announced that he will have a special “announcement” on tonight’s edition of Special Report:

.@GovMikeHuckabee to reporters in DC: "If you watch @SpecialReport with @BretBaier tonight I'll make an announcement about my 2016 decision"

— J. Hogan Gidley (@JHoganGidley) April 17, 2015

Special Report with Bret Baier airs at 6 p.m. ET on Fox News, as part of their ongoing candidate profile segment “The Presidential Contenders: 2016.” We’ll likely cover whatever he announces here as well — especially if his announcement is accompanied by a Beyoncé-themed dance routine.

Until then, check here for the Mediaite guide to who has officially announced their candidacy — a list that will surely grow in coming months.
