Congressman Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., will officially announce the end of his bid for the White House this afternoon, according to a report by the Associated Press.
A press conference has been scheduled for 2 p.m. CST in Iowa for what Tancredo’s campaign is calling a “major announcement.”
Tancredo’s campaign, which centered around illegal immigration in America, has been a longshot from the start. In a recent national poll by The Wall Street Journal, Tancredo was dead last, holding just 1 percent of the vote for Republicans.
Tancredo garnered political attention for his controversial ad campaigns centering around graphic and blunt attempts to show the American public the dangers of increasing immigration.
Tancredo would join Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., as the second Republican to drop out since the first major debate took place in September.
