Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina will be the first female GOP presidential candidate as of Monday.
She is expected to announce her bid for president tomorrow morning on Twitter, followed by a press call with media. In the afternoon, she will hold a live town hall meeting with the public that can be live streamed on the internet.
“I have a big announcement on Monday and I’m excited to hear from you afterwards on Periscope. Download the app and join me Monday afternoon,” Fiorina posted on Facebook.
Fiorina is also scheduled to appear on ABC’s Good Morning America Monday morning to discuss politics and her new book.

They will be automatically sent to Ayco Charitable Foundation, which is a donor advised fund. Fiorina and her husband can only make recommendations on where to donate the proceeds, and in the past they have recommended non profit organizations such as Goods 360 and Opportunity International.
