"SNIP...........



Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (R) is suspending his presidential campaign, CNN and The Washington Post report.

The news comes after Santorum finished with just one percent of the vote int he 2016 Iowa GOP caucus. The loss had already prompted his campaign to postpone a planned 46-county tour in South Carolina.

Santorum announced his presidential run on May 27 in a Pennsylvania factory, joining an already-crowded field of GOP contenders. His highly conservative platform, fueled by his own blue-collar roots, rested upon reining in spending and fighting on behalf of the American worker.

"It’s time to revitalize manufacturing, processing, construction and energy sectors of our economy again so America can once again thrive," his campaign website said.
