Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb has been entertaining the idea of running for president since fall 2014, and he will make his official decision in two weeks, according to the Washington Post.
"We’re going to make a decision within the next two weeks," Webb told an Iowa radio host Monday morning. "The decision point is—can we put together a viable campaign without having to fall into this financial campaign funding process, which I think is damaging to the country?"
In addition to securing stable funding, Webb’s campaign has also experienced difficulty in securing stable campaign workers.
The committee has lost two Iowa operatives from the exploratory committee in late May. Webb’s team has denied that the shake-up reflects the end of his presidential ambitions. Spokesman Craig Crawford said that the resignations were about, "reassigning staff to ensure people are tasked with opportunities that best serve their strengths."
Since announcing, Webb has been touring some early states and attending local events to discuss the current state of the country. Two weeks ago, Webb spoke at George Mason University and advocated for a stance on authoritarian China and advocated for congress to "step up"on its foreign policy.
The former Marine veteran and Reagan administrator announced his exploratory committee in November of 2014 with a low-quality Web video.
"I made this decision after reflecting on numerous political commentaries and listening to many knowledgeable people," Webb said in his website message. "I look forward to listening and talking with more people in the coming months as I decide whether or not to run."
