Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will officially launch his campaign for president next week. Gingrich had hinted earlier that he would announce this week, telling reporters Thursday, “I would just say to folks who are really curious: Watch Facebook and Twitter in the next week.” But before the White House Correspondents' Dinner, he was even more specific, saying, “I’ll be in by the 10th or 11th.” Though, later on he explained that he has not yet untangled himself from various business ventures that would complicate his candidacy. Gingrich will not participate in the first GOP primary debate on Thursday, and last week his spokesperson Rick Tyler cited those “business entanglements” as a primary reason.
