After failing to secure the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said on Wednesday that he isn’t ruling out another bid in 2016.
“I’m certainly leaving the door open for that,’’ Santorum said on “The Steve Malzberg Show.” “I’m making no commitments at this point, but we’re not doing anything inconsistent with running in 2016.’’
The 2016 jockeying has already begun. Santorum recently stumped for a candidate in the South Carolina special House election. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is scheduled to speak at a GOP dinner in May in South Carolina. And Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at a GOP dinner next month in New Hampshire.
