Mark Sanford says he's 'growing ever closer' to launching a GOP primary challenge against Trump
Washington PostFormer congressman Mark Sanford said Friday that he is “growing ever closer” to mounting a Republican primary challenge against President Trump following a visit this week to New Hampshire.
Sanford, a former South Carolina governor who represented the state’s 1st Congressional District in the House until earlier this year, said he found “a lot of folks who were open and receptive” to a White House bid during his visit to the nation’s first presidential primary state.
“At this point I am growing ever closer in that direction,” Sanford said during an interview on CNN, adding that he has “a couple more T’s to cross and I’s to dot.”
If Sanford enters the race, he will join former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld (R) in challenging Trump for the GOP nod.
