Santorum Jumps Into the 2016 GOP Fray
Rick Santorum, the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania who was the runner-up for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, said Wednesday he is making a second try for the White House.
Framing himself as a champion of the middle class and blue collar workers, Santorum kicked off his campaign at Penn United Technologies, a precision metal manufacturing company with 585 employees in Cabot, Pa., near Santorum's boyhood home north of Pittsburgh.
