Michele Bachmann’s campaign has now announced the dates for their formal kickoff tour next week — with her making stops in three of the big early primary and caucus states.
Bachmann made the interesting move of announcing her much-expected candidacy during last week’s debate — though of course, her very participation in the debate was itself an act of running for president. However, that act did seem to be a departure from her previous statements that she would announce her decision in Waterloo, Iowa, the town where she was born.
Now, her campaign announced via press release, she will be making it up with a formal kickoff event on Monday at 10 a.m. CT, in Waterloo — an event that the campaign press couldn’t escape if they wanted to.
Then on Tuesday, she will hold a 9 a.m. ET backyard event at a private residence in Raymond, New Hampshire, and then visit Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with an event at 5:30 p.m. ET. She will then make a full-day swing through South Carolina on Wednesday, with stops in Charleston, Lexington, Greenville, and Rock Hill.
