Fox News has suspended contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum effective immediately until they decide whether to run for president.
Anchor Bret Baier announced on air late Wednesday morning that the network “has suspended its contributor arrangements” with Gingrich and Santorum for the next 60 days.
The suspensions will end on May 1 if they decide against running. If they do not announce one way or the other by then, their contracts will be terminated, Baier said.
Fox News did not announce a similar suspension for host and former Gov. Mike Huckabee or contributor and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
