Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina will launch her campaign for president on May 4, according to The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
Fiorina won't announce her candidacy at a physical location, like Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Ted Cruz (R-TX) did. Instead, Fiorina will announce her candidacy online and then hold a conference call with national reporters, the Journal said. It's a move similar to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign announcement who skipped a staged event and published a video and unveiled her website on a Sunday afternoon earlier this month.
Fiorina has argued that if Clinton were to face a female Republican in the general election, Clinton wouldn't be able to use a handful of attacks she could use against a male opponent.

Could easily end up as V.P. on a Repub ticket against Clinton.

I needed a good laugh. Even though she's a joke, on her own she was not making me laugh.

She's just going to be a bomb thrower, and it won't look like repub men are berating a female.
