The National Journal is quoting an anonymous source who says Michele Bachmann is dropping her bid for the White House. The source says the campaign sees "no viable way forward" after her sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

Bachmann has canceled a trip to South Carolina and scheduled a 10 a.m. news conference in Iowa amid mounting rumors that she'll step out of the race, according to the Hill.

Political insiders, including Sarah Palin and her own former campaign manager Ed Rollins, are saying her campaign is essentially finished. "I think if she goes on she's just going to go into debt," Rollins says in an interview in the Huffington Post.

Politico quotes a few anonymous sources, one of whom says the situation is "dire." They say the Republican hopeful is having trouble tapping major donors.

The Minnesota Congresswoman told the Christian Broadcasting Network that she was doomed because the media focused on a few minor stumbles involving Elvis Presley and John Wayne. Bachmann dropped out of the race for the White House after a sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses. She formally endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination Thursday.

Sources tell Politico that Michele Bachmann's main campaign hub is now Des Moines, Iowa.

The Minnesota Congresswoman told Bloomberg that money will be the factor that narrows the field. Bachmann has yet to endorse any of the remaining Republican contenders. She dropped out of the race for the White House after finishing sixth in the Iowa caucuses.

The tight race at the top of the ticket will have no bearing on the Iowa Caucus results for Michele Bachmann. After taking the Iowa Straw Poll in August, Bachmann returned to Iowa to finish in sixth place. When asked by the Associated Press whether she would continue on her campaign manager said 'I don't know yet.'

Michele Bachmann at a press conference this morning said she's dropping out of the race for the White House. The announcement comes after a disappointing sixth-place finish in the Iowa Caucuses on Tuesday night.

Michele Bachmann is in her hometown today, hoping to sway huge numbers of still-undecided voters to support her in the Iowa caucuses tonight. The AP says a poor showing could sink her campaign, and the latest poll in the Des Moines Register doesn't have good news. And ABC tries to answer the question on many people's minds: What's a caucus, anyway?

The GOP presidential candidate is campaigning in Iowa and feels the media fail to accurately portray her. The Huffington Post says Bachmann needs to win over Midwest voters to resuscitate her candidacy.
