DENVER, Colorado -- Rep. Tom Tancredo, whose forceful advocacy of border security vaulted him to national prominence, plans to announce that he is abandoning his long-shot bid for the presidency, a person close to the Colorado Republican said yesterday.
The five-term congressman planned to make the announcement at a press conference in Des Moines, Iowa, today, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak for Mr. Tancredo or his campaign.
