Republican Scott Walker Enters 2016 Presidential Race (VIDEO)

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the latest Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race.

"I'm in. I'm running for president because Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them," Walker said in a tweet Monday morning.

Walker also released a video announcing his presidential bid, in which the Republican says: "America needs new fresh leadership with big bold ideas from outside of Washington to actually get things done. In Wisconsin, we didn't nibble around the edges, we enacted big bold reforms, took power out of the hands of the big government special interests and gave it to the hardworking taxpayers."

Take a look at the video:

Walker is set to hold his announcement event this afternoon in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
