Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said she’ll announce her decision about running for the Democratic presidential nomination on Sunday in Minneapolis.
“Sunday, come to Boom Island in Minneapolis,” Klobuchar said during a Tuesday night interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow following President Trump’s State of the Union address. “And then you’ll find out my decision.”
“It’s going to be a little cold … wear warm clothes, maybe have little heat warmers with you, but then you’ll find out my decision.”
{mosads}The news comes hours after reports emerged that Klobuchar, who’s been mulling a 2020 bid, will be headlining a local Democratic banquet in early caucus state Iowa on Feb. 21.
Klobuchar, who easily won a third term to the Senate last year, has generated recent buzz about a presidential bid. She’d be one of a few Democrats either running or considering running from the Midwest.
South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg has already announced a 2020 bid. Meanwhile, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) has been visiting early primary states on his “Dignity of Work” tour and has said he’s nearing a decision.
If Klobuchar jumps into the race, she’ll join a packed field with other fellow senators including Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
