Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, Republican Candidate for President - Who Is He?







Excerpt: Michigan Republican Thaddeus McCotter will announce the launch of his presidential campaign July 2.

“If I run, I would be in to win,” he said.

With McCotter being a frequent guest on Fox News’ popular 3 a.m. show Red Eye, host Greg Gutfeld was one of the first commentators to float the idea of a McCotter presidency, back in April.
