Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) announced early Wednesday that she would not seek a fifth term in Congress in 2014 but would keep fighting for the conservative principles that made her a favorite of the tea party movement and, she said, are vital to protecting the United States from moral and economic decline. "Be assured, my decision was not it any way influenced by any concerns about my being reelected to Congress," Bachmann, 57, said in the eight minute, 40 second statement. "I have every confidence that if I ran, I would again defeat the individual that I defeated last year." |
