Mike Huckabee, a potential Republican presidential contender who is riding high in the Republican field in some 2012 polls, said that he will make a “very important announcement” on Saturday.
Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, said on his radio show, The Huckabee Report, that his listeners should tune in to his Fox News Channel television show for “a very important announcement coming this Saturday,” according to Reuters.
In addition to his radio show tease, Huckabee also reminded his Twitter followers to “check my media schedule for today and the weekend.”
Huckabee, who lost to Arizona Sen. John McCain in 2008, has been struggling over whether he should run for his party’s nomination again for the upcoming 2012 election. If Huckabee launches a campaign, he will most likely need to give up his Fox TV show.
Although it’s already less than 18 months until the presidential election, the Republicans have yet to single out a clear candidate to challenge Obama.
In the Republican pool, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are expected to run. Still undecided are Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Minnesota congresswoman Michelle Bachmann.
