Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will deliver a "major speech" at Liberty University on Monday, according to staffers who spoke with The Texas Tribune on Friday.

The announcement set off speculation that Cruz is just days away from officially throwing his hat in the ring for the 2016 presidential race. While no one in Cruz's camp would confirm the content of his upcoming speech, a political staffer told The Daily Beast, "You're going to want to be there."
