The South Carolina Republican said on CBS Monday morning that on June 1, “I will tell you what I’m going to do about running for president.”
Graham previously said he was “99.9 percent” sure he would run. The announcement is set to be from an event in central South Carolina.
“I’m running because of what you see on television, I’m running because I think the world is falling apart,” Graham said.
“I’ve been more right than wrong on foreign policy,” he said. “It’s my ability, in my own mind, to be a good commander in chief and to make Washington work,” he added when asked about his foreign policy opinion on President Obama.
Graham, a foreign policy hawk, also said that more U.S. soldiers should be fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to “protect the homeland.”
According to a RealClearPolitics average of polls, Graham garners 1.3 percent of support — putting him dead last among a crowded field.
