Perry heads home; Bachmann cancels SC trip after poor Iowa finish. Are they out of the race?
Campaign manager Keith Nahigian told The Associated Press that the Minnesota congresswoman planned a news conference in Iowa late Wednesday morning. Nahigian would not say whether Bachmann intends to drop out.
Bachmann, 55, told a small group of supporters Tuesday night that she was staying in the presidential race — despite her sixth place finish — as the only true conservative who can defeat President Barack Obama. But her campaign is known to be low on money.
As the chaff is slowly but surely separated from the chaff (not a typo).
Update: CNN is reporting that Bachmann’s campaign sees “no viable way forward”. Briefing at 11am.
Expect Bachmann to drop out today.
Meanwhile, Perry has returned to Texas to “reassess” his campaign. We all know what that means.
