Republican presidential candidate Congresswoman Michele Bachmann announces she is ending her presidential bid at a news conference in West Des Moines, Iowa, January 4, 2012. U.S. congresswoman Bachmann on Wednesday ended her campaign to become the 2012 Republican U.S. presidential candidate and called on supporters to rally behind the party's eventual nominee. The announcement came a day after she received only 5 percent of the vote in the Iowa nominating caucuses, dealing what many saw as a fatal blow to her presidential ambitions.
