In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he will announce his decision about a potential run for the White House in Hope, Arkansas on May 5.
“I’ll let everybody just say come to Hope on May 5th. You’ll find out what’s going to happen,” Huckabee told Baier.
Huckabee added that announcing his decision in Hope, his hometown, is “symbolic.”
“I don’t think anybody should enter into a decision that is this monumental, not just for me but for my entire family without a lot of prayer,” Huckabee told the “Special Report” host. A lot of thoughtful consideration. A lot of consultation with friends and family members. So all of that is a very important factor in leading up to the decision that I will make and make clear on May 5th.”
He also told Baier that he realizes Iowa is his key to success in the 2016, along with South Carolina. Huckabee came away victorious in the Hawkeye state in 2008, when he came in second for the GOP nomination to Sen. John McCain.
“I think it’ll be worth tuning in for,” Huckabee added.
