Indiana first lady tests waters with rare speech
INDIANAPOLIS (AP and Staff) — The wife of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is giving few hints about whether her husband will run for president during a rare speech to Republican supporters in Indianapolis.
Cheri Daniels has kept a low profile as Indiana’s first lady, but she made her biggest speech Thursday to a sold-out crowd of more than 1,000 people at a state party dinner.
She joked about her “glamorous” role in the state. She showed the crowd photos of her with sports team mascots, dressing up with the governor for Halloween and milking a cow at the state fair.
Mitch Daniels said before introducing his wife that “I’m not saying I won’t do it” but that it has never been his intention to run for president.
