Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who narrowly won the 2012 Iowa caucuses, is headed back to the Hawkeye state for a five-day trip later this month as he eyes another possible run at the White House, the Des Moines Register reported.
In addition to GOP Rep. Steve King’s Iowa Freedom Summit on Jan. 24, which many other potential GOP contenders are attending, Mr. Santorum also has private meetings and planned Republican events on the schedule, the paper reported.
Should Mr. Santorum eventually run for president again, he could be competing with candidates such as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008, and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas for the votes of social conservatives and evangelicals in the GOP.
