Huckabee Leaves Show to Explore White House Bid

January 4, 2015 · 8:00 am ET · 33 Comments

Mike Huckabee announced on his Fox News show that he is leaving the network after more than six years to consider another bid for the GOP presidential nomination and will decide by late Spring, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Huckabee: “The continued chatter has put Fox News into a position that is not fair to them nor is it possible for me to openly determine political and financial support to justify a race. The honorable thing to do at this point is to end my tenure here at Fox. As much as I have loved doing the show, I cannot bring myself to rule out another presidential run.”
