She already announced her presidential campaign in last week's GOP debate in New Hampshire. But Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann will make it formal next Monday in the town of her birth, Waterloo, Iowa.

That's according to a source close to Bachmann. The source said that while she could not confirm an earlier report in the Huffington Post, "it would not be wrong," to report it.

HufPo, citing unnamed sources, called it an exclusive.

Bachmann spokeswoman Alice Stewart told the Star Tribune Tuesday evening that details will arrive in the morning.

That's how one gets news from the Bachmann camp these days.
