Coming in January: God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy by Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee, who appears to be ramping up a 2016 presidential campaign, opens the book with a question, “Have I been taken to a different planet than the one on which I grew up?”
Fox News is reevaluating Mike Huckabee’s status with the network following a new report that he is eyeing a 2016 presidential bid, Politico reports.
“Fox News has historically had a policy of terminating contributor agreements if an exploratory committee is formed or if serious political intent is shown. It dropped both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in 2012 and New Hampshire Senate candidate Scott Brown in 2014. On Friday, it cut ties with contributor Dr. Ben Carson after learning that the neurosurgeon-turned-conservative commentator plans to air a 40-minute ad promoting his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.”
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), “who turned his stunning victory in the 2008 Iowa caucuses into a thriving talk show career, is reconnecting with activists and enlisting staff to position himself in a growing field of potential Republican presidential candidates,” the Washington Post reports.
“Huckabee’s newly formed non-profit advocacy group, America Takes Action, has begun to serve as an employment perch for his political team, recently bringing on a number of experienced campaign operatives. Advisers are already scouting real estate in Little Rock, Ark., for a possible presidential campaign headquarters.”
Megyn Kelly embarrassingly mispronounced the name of Mike Huckabee’s Fox News show last night.
