Washington (CNN) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is expected to announce his presidential intentions Wednesday afternoon -- bringing an end to speculation over his likely White House bid.
The Georgia Republican told reporters on Capitol Hill he will make his announcement via Facebook and Twitter.
"I have been humbled by all the encouragement you have given me to run. Thank you for your support," Gingrich said Monday on his Facebook page.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, said Wednesday morning that "the discussion around the presidential race will obviously increase" when Gingrich enters the race for the GOP nomination. CNN
