New York (CNN) – Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has said he is considering running for the Republican presidential nomination, is in the middle of a cross country swing talking to key constituencies including those in the Big Apple.
On Tuesday night he addresses about 200 at a sold-out New York County Republican dinner. At the dinner Perry is replacing Donald Trump, who pulled out after he decided not to run for president.
This last weekend he spoke to a Hispanic anti-abortion rights group in California and later this week he speaks with other contenders at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.
