Gingrich Close to Announcing Presidential Run
Politico reports:
Newt Gingrich will make his final decision about whether or not to run for president in a matter of days, with an announcement soon to follow, according to various reports and Gingrich aides.
strong>The Atlanta Journal-Constitution<, quoting attorney and Gingrich adviser Randy Evans, reported Saturday that Gingrich will announce his exploratory in Georgia within 10 days. Gingrich himself told strong>The Palm Beach Post< on Thursday that he's two weeks away from an announcement, a timely echoed by an strong>Associated Press< report.
A Gingrich aide confirmed to POLITICO's Mike Allen that a decision is near, but sought to tamp down expectations that any announcement will happen this coming week.
“Newt will most certainly not announce [this] week," the Gingrich aide said, "but he will have made a decision on an exploratory phase one way or the other."
