The Republican presidential candidate just announced he's suspending his campaign.

Speaking in Gettysburg Tuesday afternoon, Santorum, who was raised in Butler, canceled his presidential campaign.
According to the Huffington Post, Santorum had taken a break from the campaign trail for several days to tend to his ailing daughter, Bella. He also faced a tough battle in his home state to win the April 24 Pennsylvania primary.
