UPDATE: Perry plans to attend GOP debate. Hat tip The Osprey.
A spokesman for Texas Gov. Rick Perry says he plans to attend the GOP presidential debate tomorrow.
Mark Miner, Perry’s spokesman, just said so in a one-line e-mail to USA TODAY’s Jackie Kucinich.
In an appearance earlier today on CBS’ The Early Show, the Texas governor said he did not know whether the wildfires would force him to skip the debate. He said that his focus is on the latest fires, including a devastating one in Bastrop County near Austin.
CNN is reporting that Governor Rick Perry has returned to Texas to deal with the wild fires. The Perry camp had tried to make arrangements to participate remotely, but apparently this will not happen.
