Rick Santorum On 2016 Presidential Run: 'I Haven't Made Any Decision'

Santorum On 2016 Run: 'I Haven't Made Any Decision'
|

Former Senator Rick Santorum wants to clear up any rumors about him running for president in 2016.

In a conversation with HuffPost Live about the life of Jesus in pop culture, Santorum also addressed a recent Washington Post article that confidently stated another presidential run.

"I thought it was rather presumptuous of the Washington Post to make that leap. I haven't made any decision on that yet, probably won't for several months," Santorum told HuffPost Live's Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani.

"My faith shapes everything I do," Santorum said when asked how his Christianity factors into his decision to run for president.

When asked if he thought Senator Rand Paul was Christian enough for the GOP, Santorum responded, "I'm not the one to make that judgement. That's a judgement that each individual voter will go as to whether it's important to them or not as to the role of faith in his life and how he articulates that through his policies."
