(Before It's News)

This should come as no surprise: On Monday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will throw his hat in the ring to become one of the GOP’s contenders for the White House in the 2016 presidential election. Once he makes his intentions known, he will be the first candidate officially in the running.

Politico relayed the news on Sunday of Cruz’ scheduled announcement, set to take place at Liberty University in Virginia:

Cruz, 44, will be bypassing the traditional exploratory phase of the campaign — reflecting a calculation that there’s little point in prolonging the process and that in being first out of the gate he can draw attention to himself.

The Texas senator is likely to face stiff headwinds in the Republican primary, with many of the party’s biggest donors throwing their support to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and many of the party’s conservative voters getting behind Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
