Tweet Suggests Ted Walker Will Announce Presidential Bid Monday
NBC News ^ | 7/12

Posted on 07/12/2015 8:20:01 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is expected to make a big announcement Monday, but it seems he gave away the surprise last week in a tweet.

On Friday, Walker tweeted a black-and-white photo of himself waving on a stage with the words "Scott Walker is running for president," according to Politico. The tweet has since been taken down, but Walker sent a few more presidential-sounding messages afterward, including one showing "the official campaign logo."

Walker is set to make the announcement at 5 p.m. Monday in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha.

Campaign aides revealed to the Associated Press in early July that Walker planned to file the paperwork for his long expected candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on July 2.

Walker has traveled throughout the country in the past several months, including stops in Iowa, to speak to conservative groups and court voters.

The Wisconsin governor will join a large field of GOP contenders, with 16 others who have already announced or are expected to soon announce their candidacy.

I get it now, the source actually has the headline "Ted Walker."

NBC affiliate. They can't be too smart.

They corrected it now, but they didn’t acknowledge the mistake.
