Mike Huckabee teased the national media with his announcement of an announcement.
The former Arkansas Governor told Fox News Friday he would officially announce his presidential campaign plans May 5 in his — and former President Bill Clinton’s — hometown of Hope, Ark.
Speaking with reporters in Washington earlier in the day, Huckabee insisted he had not made a decision yet about running, although he said that “things are progressing along” in his preparations.
He sounded like an all-but-declared candidate, saying a super PAC has been formed to support his likely candidacy and touting his supporter network in Iowa, home to the nation’s first presidential caucuses, which Huckabee won in 2008.
