Former congressman Mark Sanford said Tuesday that he is considering a presidential bid, making him potentially the second Republican to wage a primary challenge against President Donald Trump.
In an interview on CNN, Sanford, a former South Carolina governor who represented the state’s 1st Congressional District in the House until earlier this year, said he was motivated to consider a bid due to the lack of debate over the federal debt and deficit.
“The place where there is no discussion is the way in which, you know, interest is the largest growing expense in the federal government,” Sanford said.
The news of Sanford’s potential run was first reported Tuesday by the Charleston Post and Courier.
