Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said on Saturday that he was leaving his weekly Fox News show so he can explore a 2016 presidential bid.
Huckabee, who vied for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, announced his decision to leave the show on Facebook, then bid his viewers farewell on his final show Saturday night.
"I'm not going to make a decision about running until late in the spring of 2015, but the continued (political) chatter has put Fox News in a position that just isn’t fair to them," Huckabee said on his show.
Fox News has previously ended contracts with national figures considering presidentialcampaigns, including former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich in 2011.
参考译文1：
周日，前阿肯色州州长 麦克·赫卡比宣称将离开其福克斯每周新闻秀，以便潜心参与2016年总统竞选。
赫卡比在Facebook上宣布了自己将要离开的讯息，并将在周六晚最后的节目中作别观众。此前在2008年，赫卡比就已参与竞选共和党总统提名。
赫卡比在节目中说道：“直拖到2015年春天，我才做出离开的决定，。”
出于参选总统考虑，早在2011年，福克斯新闻就已同诸如包括前美国宾夕法尼亚州参议员里克·桑托勒姆，以及美国众议院议长纽特·金里奇等在内的国内“大人物”终止了合同。
