Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry will decide in early June whether or not he will run in the 2016 presidential race.

Although Perry has been testing the grounds for a second campaign for the White House in early-voting states like Iowa, a spokesman said the Republican leader has not made up his mind about running in the race. Instead, he will make an announcement about his political ambitions on June 4, reports The Associated Press.

On Friday, Perry's wife, Anita, tweeted an invitation to an event taking place on June 4 in Dallas that will be hosted by Perry's political action committee, RickPAC. According to Politico, a spokesman said he will be "announcing his intentions" about 2016 at the event.

"Governor & Mrs. Perry have been discussing the future of our great country and how their family can play a role. Join them in Dallas, TX on June 4th for a special announcement," reads the invitation.

Perry, who holds the record as the Lone Star state's longest-serving governor, left office earlier this year.

If Perry does decide to cast a bid in the race, this would mark his second presidential campaign run. However, this time around, he would face steep competition from popular GOP hopefuls like Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Ted Cruz and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Earlier this week, Bush unofficially announced that he is running in the 2016 presidential election during a campaign stop in Nevada on Wednesday. While speaking to reporters in Reno, the former Florida governor mistakenly admitted that he is a presidential hopeful, reports NBC News.

"I'm running for president in 2016," said the former Republican governor, before quickly correcting himself, saying "and the focus is going to be about how we -- if I run -- how do you create high sustained economic growth."
