Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will be in Little Rock for a fundraiser Monday night. The former Arkansas governor is also celebrating his 60th birthday.

The event is an invitation only affair at Next Level Events at the Little Rock train station. Huckabee’s wife Janet and their five grandchildren are expected to be there. His campaign says there will be BBQ and birthday cake.

Huckabee announced his presidential campaign in May in his hometown of Hope, Arkansas, but like other Republicans, has been struggling to gain traction with Donald Trump leading in national polls.
