Mark Sanford suspends congressional campaign for South Carolina's 1st District after 30 days
Former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Representative Mark Sanford announced on Thursday that he is suspending his campaign to reclaim his former House seat in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, just 30 days after entering the race on March 30. Instead of continuing his congressional bid, Sanford said he plans to launch a national nonprofit organization and grassroots movement focused on combating the national debt. Sanford, 65, had been a vocal critic of President Trump during his first administration and had entered the race in a crowded field to succeed Rep. Nancy Mace, who is running for governor.
