Tancredo plans “major announcement regarding the campaign”
GOP presidential candidate Rep Tom Tancredo is holding a press conference Thursday in downtown Des Moines, Iowa to “make a major announcement regarding the campaign.”
Could Tancredo, who is polling at around 2 percent, be dropping out of the race? If so, who will he endorse?
Tancredo’s signature issue — the fight against illegal immigration — has become a major theme in the GOP presidential contest.
All leading candidates — including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee — are spending time and money trying to prove they are tough on illegal immigration.
Tancredo is shown here at a debate earlier this month.
