WASHINGTON — Republicans Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman took steps Tuesday toward formally joining a still- forming GOP presidential field.
Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, established a presidential exploratory committee and announced he would participate in Thursday’s debate in South Carolina. Huntsman, a former governor of Utah who last week stepped down as the U.S. ambassador to China, filed paperwork that lets him begin building a national profile as he weighs a presidential campaign.
