Bobby Jindal Announces Presidential Bid

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) “is poised to join the crowded race for the Republican presidential nomination with an announcement at a rally outside New Orleans on Wednesday,” Bloomberg reports.

“Jindal would be the 13th Republican to enter the race.”

Politico: “As Jindal prepares to make his White House bid official on Wednesday, he is struggling to break the one percent mark in national polls. That puts him a dozen places behind the top-tier triumvirate of Walker, Bush and Rubio. It’s possible Jindal will emerge from the back of the pack at some stage of the game, but it’s just as likely the dumbed-down version of Jindal will never catch fire.”
