Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) has canceled a Monday trip to Iowa after being hospitalized, his Patriot Voices PAC said in a statement Sunday evening.

“While traveling in South Carolina on Saturday, Rick Santorum became ill and was admitted to the hospital for a gastro-intestinal illness and dehydration,” the group said in a written release. “He is feeling better today but remains in the hospital and is unable to travel to Iowa on Monday, April 15 for previously scheduled events. He is expected to resume a full schedule later this week and looks forward to returning to Iowa soon,” said Virginia Davis, spokesperson for Patriot Voices.”

Santorum, who is leaving the door open on a potential 2016 bid, was scheduled to speak at an Iowa Faith & Freedom event, The Hill reported
