Bachmann called the tea party the "biggest political movement that is going across the United States today." The Minnesota Republican said the tea party is bigger than a political party.
South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley also spoke. Bachmann met privately with Haley prior to the rally.
Bachmann told reporters she can't wait to take on Barack Obama, but also said she hasn't decided whether she will run for president.
