Senator Marco Rubio plans to announce his campaign for president on April 13 in Miami, two Republicans familiar with his plans said Saturday.
That could make Rubio the third Republican senator to enter his party's presidential nomination contest, which is shaping up to be one of the most wide-open races of recent election cycles. Ted Cruz of Texas last week became the first formally declared candidate, and Rand Paul of Kentucky is expected to announce his plans April 7 in Louisville.
