Kucinich plans another presidential bid
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat from Ohio who made an unsuccessful bid for president in 2004, will announce a second presidential run Tuesday in Cleveland.

Kucinich is set to forgo a presidential exploratory committee and announce an official run at Cleveland's City Hall tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. ET, according to spokesman Andy Juniewicz.

Kucinich says he is running because of the Democratic Leaderships continued willingness to fund the war in Iraq.

"Democrats were swept into power on November 7 because of widespread voter discontent with the war in Iraq," Kucinich said in a statement. "Instead of heeding those concerns and responding with a strong and immediate change in policies and direction, the Democratic Congressional leadership seems inclined to continue funding the perpetuation of the war."

-- CNN Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh
