It’s official, almost. A spokesman for Newt Gingrich said the former House speaker will announce Wednesday he is running for president. Gingrich will announce his candidacy by Facebook and Twitter and give an interview on Fox News later that night. On Friday, he will deliver his first speech as a presidential candidate at the Georgia Republican Party Convention. The announcement comes as no surprise: Gingrich has been raising money and putting together a campaign team for months.
