Walker Joins Presidential Race

Gov. Scott Walker tweeted that he was formally joining the 2016 GOP presidential race: “I’m in. I’m running for president because Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them.”

New York Times: “Mr. Walker is aiming to be the candidate who appeals to the largest portion of Republican primary voters, a reflection of the fact that he does not have a single strong base of supporters… The risk is that when your potential political coalition is spread out, it is hard to count on any one part of it showing up to vote.”

Bloomberg has a “scouting report” on Walker.
