GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann hasn't officially announced a run for the White House yet, but CBS News is reporting that she's hired a top political operative to help her run her campaign.

CBS says Bachmann hired Ed Rollins, who helped former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee win the Iowa caucuses in 2008. Rollins is well known for being the hard-nosed operative who ran Ronald Reagan's White House successful re-election in 1984.

Bachmann has not said when she'll officially announce her presidential run. She has committed to a GOP debate in New Hampshire on June 13.
