Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker may announce at 6 p.m. Monday evening that he is dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination, according to unnamed Republican insiders who spoke to the New York Times. The Washington Post and the Associated Press confirmed the rumors Monday afternoon.

That effort has so far failed to muster him the support he needs to compete on a national level against more than a dozen adversaries.
