| Description | MINNEAPOLIS – Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty may be running for president, but he's not ready to be official about it.
Pawlenty moved quickly Tuesday to knock down a CNN story that appeared to show him officially entering the race.
During an airing of Piers Morgan Tonight, taped earlier in the day, the talk show host remarked on Pawlenty's low standing in early polls. He asked if Pawlenty would consider being real estate tycoon Donald Trump's No. 2 on a ticket. The former governor laughed and responded, "I'm running for president."
Later in the interview, Morgan asked Pawlenty to clarify if that was an official announcement.
"I've got an exploratory committee up and running and we'll have a final or full announcement on that in the coming weeks," said Pawlenty, who formed an exploratory committee last month. "It won't be too much longer. But everything is headed in that direction."
