The field may narrow yet again. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has said that if he doesn’t come in at least third in Iowa, he’s out:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will quit the Republican presidential race if he can’t finish in the top three in Iowa.
Huckabee, who came from behind to win the Iowa caucuses in 2008 on the basis of strong support from evangelical Christians, has struggled to gain traction as those voters have gravitated toward Sen. Ted Cruz.
This prompted talk-show host Simon Conway on WHO-AM in Des Moines to ask on Wednesday, “Where do you have to come in Iowa to keep going?”
Huckabee responded, “Historically, we’ve always said there were three tickets out of Iowa, you have to come in number one, two, or three. I think in many ways that’s still the case.”
Huckabee is not polling well, even in the state where he’s staked his campaign, so expect him to announce his exit right after the primary.
