DescriptionScott Walker plans to suspend his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday night, according to several sources.

The announcement, scheduled for 5 p.m. Central Time in Madison, comes on the heels of a new CNN poll that showed him registering as an asterisk in the latest national poll after a second straight lackluster performance in the GOP debate last week.

It's a sudden and surprising fall for the Wisconsin governor, who led polls in Iowa for several months earlier this year after a well-received speech there in January that inspired both the party's grassroots and its donor class. For months, he was viewed as a frontrunner for the GOP's nomination, but he failed to consolidate support and did not live up to the early hype he inspired.

Walker, who had a fundraiser in Indianapolis scheduled for Monday night, spent the day in private meetings before the planned announcement.
