(CNN)Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is ending his presidential bid, two Republican sources told CNN.
He is expected to make the announcement Wednesday night and will endorse a candidate.
Santorum won the 2012 Iowa caucuses and ended that race with the second-most number of delegates to eventually GOP nominee Mitt Romney. But he was unable to capture any momentum this year, despite extensive barnstorming efforts in Iowa.
He is the third Republican presidential candidate to drop out after Monday’s caucuses. Mike Huckabee ended his campaign that night, and Rand Paul suspended his campaign Wednesday morning.
Rick Santorum Suspending Campaign
Quick, someone tell the Cruz campaign not to repeat this CNN report or everyone will accuse them of dirty cheating.
I think the open space in the photo above tells us why.
So, on the office pool of who will be left standing on February 15, I’ve pegged three so far who I expected to be out. I still have Christie, Fiorina, Gilmore to go.
I think it would be appropriate to enact a law that states that once you’ve run for president twice and failed, you’re done. (sarcasm…sort of on)
You’d think this would be common knowledge by these perpetual candidates but sadly, it’s not. I also blame “those who are close” to the candidate for encouraging them to go at it again.
How does CNN know? If a Santorum falls in a forest, does anyone really hear it?
