Great day in the morning! CNN is reporting that Michele Bachmann will be forming a presidential exploratory committee in June. Or, if we are really lucky:
But a source close to the congresswoman said that Bachmann could form the exploratory committee even earlier than June so that she could participate in early Republican presidential debates.It would be a crying shame if Bachmann misses out of any of the Republican debates. Fox News is hosting the first primary debate in South Carolina on May 5th. Based on CNN's source, it sounds like Fox News and the South Carolina GOP, who is cohosting the debate, could be the determining factors in Bachmann's decision as to when to file paperwork on her exploratory committee.
"She's been telling everyone early summer," the source told CNN regarding Bachmann's planned June filing and announcement. But the source said that nothing is static.
"If you [debate sponsors] come to us and say, 'To be in our debates, you have to have an exploratory committee,' then we'll say, 'Okay, fine...I'll go file the forms.'"
