Could former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee be making another stab at the highest office in the land?

Huckabee announced Saturday that he was stepping down from his Fox News talk show in order to weigh a presidential run, according to Politico.

In a post to Facebook, Huckabee said there has been a “great deal of speculation” on whether he would run, and that while he wouldn’t make a decision until the spring, he decided to step down from the show as the discussion placed Fox News in a difficult situation. Meanwhile, he will attempt to determine how much support there is for running for president in 2016, telling his readers to “stay tuned.”

Huckabee was a Republican candidate for president in 2008. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) eventually won the party nomination and was then defeated by then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). However, Huckabee was a popular candidate and a strong contender at the time, and he has hosted his show for six and a half years, giving him a national platform.

He recently slammed former secretary of state Hillary Clinton — and frontrunner for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in 2016 — last month after she said that it is important for one to have “smart power,” as in empathizing and respecting your enemies.

Huckabee, in a blog post, said that Clinton was wrong to “empathize with terrorists who think nothing of beheading innocent men, women, and children.”

If Huckabee does declare, he will have some catching up to do. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of the most recent Republican president, is moving closer to a run and may be the early frontrunner for the bid. Ran Paul has already launched a political action committee (PAC) to help his bid, and also purchased Google searches that use Huckabee in an effort to siphon off support.

Huckabee’s owned leadership PAC, called Huck PAC, brought in $2.2 million in 2014 and spent about $2 million, with about $500,000 on hand. His daughter also runs a super PAC called American Principles FUnd that raised $1.4 million in 2014, spent $1.3 million, and had $60,000 left over.

Huckabee’s rise in 2008 was meteoric at first, as he won the Iowa GOP caucus by 9 percentage points over Mitt Romney, who would win the 2012 Republican nomination. However, just a week later in New Hampshire, he finished in third with 11 percent of the vote.

He reestablished some momentum by capturing his home stake of Arkansas — also the home state of former president Bill Clinton and his possible opponent should he win the nomination, Hillary Clinton. He also scored victories in six other states. However, it was McCain who eventually won the bid by early March of that year. But Huckabee’s strong performance could bode well for a second run in 2016.
