The incident happened Wednesday morning.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann was barely a blip in a Saturday straw poll among Florida Republicans. In a field of eight presidential candidates, she finished last with 1.5 percent of the vote. Businessman Herman Cain won the contest with 37 percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished a distant second.

Mitt Romney calls Bachmann a 'friend and strong competitor.' Newt Gingrich says she is 'a considerable talent' with 'great courage.' Those are among the praises for Bachmann by other GOP presidential candidates she sparred with during the campaign.

Michele Bachmann tells Fox News her presidential campaign will replace New Hampshire staff members who quit last week. She says she has focused more time on Iowa because its presidential caucuses precede the New Hampshire primary.

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign says the presumptive Republican nominee will appear with Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in Portsmouth, Virginia, Thursday afternoon. Bachmann recently said she delayed endorsing her party's candidate because she was working behind the scenes to bring various Republican factions together.

Michele Bachmann hired Chase Kroll to head her 2012 Congressional district campaign. Kroll directed Bachmann's 2010 battle and worked on her 2008 campaign. He replaces long-time Bachmann staffer Andy Parrish, who stepped down last week.

Ed Rollins tells MSNBC that Michele Bachmann doesn't have the "ability or the resources" to make it past Iowa in the presidential race.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Michele Bachmann said she would seek a fourth term in the U.S. House. The AP says she'll be a formidable candidate though it's unclear how redistricting could affect the race.

Asked about a Mitt Romney endorsement, Bachmann's reply was "all in good time." The Minnesota Congresswoman says she's working behind the scenes to line up her evangelical and Tea Party supporters behind the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
