Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will leave Fox News and announce whether he will run for the Republican presidential nomination by late spring, a statement from him said on Saturday night.
"Tonight I will do more than just say goodnight. I will say goodbye. This is the last edition of 'Huckabee' on the Fox News Channel," Huckabee's statement said, citing his looming decision on whether to enter the 2016 presidential race as the cause for the departure.
He had been hosting the political commentary show "Huckabee" on Fox News for more than six years. On speculation that he would enter the race for president, Huckabee said that because he couldn't rule out a run, he would leave Fox. By leaving the network now, Huckabee frees himself up to pursue office without conflict over his place in the media.

Huckabee has zero chance of becoming president. I am very surprised that he thinks otherwise.
