CNN reports:
One of Minnesota’s most prominent Republicans isn’t participating in the North Star State’s caucuses Tuesday.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, who dropped her own bid for the White House in January, said on CNN she was unable to get home because of votes in Congress. Speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Bachmann said she wished she could be in Minnesota caucusing.
“I’m here doing my job in Washington, D.C.,” Bachmann said. “We were voting tonight, Wolf, so I was here on the House floor and doing my job. But my family members and friends and all the great people back in Minnesota, they’re out in mass. This is a fun night in Minnesota because our state, with our caucuses system, is very grassroots, very bottom-up. It’s politics at it’s best. That’s what you’ll find in Minnesota.”
