Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann plans to file papers for a potential US presidential bid in June, and possibly even earlier.

A source close to Bachmann told CNN that she may the file papers to form a presidential exploratory committee even earlier than June so she can take part in early Republican presidential debates.

“She’s been telling everyone early June,” the source said. “But nothing is static.”
Three GOP presidential primary debates are planned before and during early June: The first one on May 2 at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California and another on May 5 in South Carolina. CNN plans a GOP presidential primary debate in New Hampshire in early June.

CNN also reports that a complete team for Iowa, a crucial state to win in the primaries, will be completed by the end of the weekend. Iowa Republican state Sen. Kent Sorenson, a favorite among Tea Party members, will head the team.
