UPDATE: Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum announced that he is endorsing Sen. Marco Rubio in the Republican nomination for president.
EARLIER: Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum will announce he is suspending his 2016 presidential campaign Wednesday night, sources tell People’s Pundit Daily.
The 2012 Iowa caucus winner’s decision comes after a poor showing on Monday. Santorum finished behind 2008 winner and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who also suspended his campaign this week.
The senator came in 11th place and picked up just 1% of the Iowa caucus vote, and now becomes the fourth presidential hopeful to drop out of the race this week. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, along with Sen. Rand Paul have called it quits. O’Malley placed a distant third in caucuses behind socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
