Jindal is expected to formally announce his decision to run Wednesday afternoon from New Orleans.
Jindal, who was elected governor of Louisiana in 2007, is considered a long-shot for winning the nomination from the crowded GOP field. With less than 1 percent, he is currently polling last in a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
