WASHINGTON
— Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum says he'll hold an event at
the end of May to announce his decision on a potential 2016 presidential
campaign.
The Republican tells Fox News Channel he will make the announcement May 27 in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was raised.
Santorum
ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, and surprised
many by winning the leadoff Iowa caucuses. But his strong support among
social conservatives was eventually no match for the organization and
fundraising prowess of eventual nominee Mitt Romney.
Santorum
says he was "clearly the underdog" in that race, and acknowledges he
would be in the same position in 2016. But he says he is "very
comfortable there."
