(CNN)Scott Walker, the political phenomenon who rose to national fame by taking on unions in one of the most blue-collar states, tweeted Monday morning confirming that he'll seek the Republican nomination for president, just hours ahead of his in-person announcement.
"I'm in. I'm running for president because Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them," Walker tweeted, signing the message with his initials "SW," indicating it was written by him and not his staff.
Walker also put out a video Monday morning, outlining his political history and why he thinks he would be the best candidate to be president.
"America needs new fresh leadership and big bold from outside of Washington to actually get things done. In Wisconsin we didn't nibble around the edges, we enacted big bold reforms, took power out of the hands of big govt special interests and gave it to the hardworking taxpayers," Walker said in the video.
