Going to need a double decker clown bus
(Reuters) - Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore said on Tuesday he would join the crowded race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Gilmore, who briefly sought the 2008 Republican nomination before dropping out, said in an interview with the newspaper that he planned to make the announcement in the first week of August.
Gilmore, 65, served one term as Virginia's governor, from 1998 to 2002, and was the chairman of the Republican National Committee in 2001.
