Former GOP Rep. Mark Sanford of South Carolina is considering challenging President Trump in 2020. “The people that have been encouraging me to do this have said, 'We need to have a conversation about what it means to be a Republican,'” Sanford says.
Sanford told CNN's Brianna Keilar on"CNN Right Now" he will explore a possible candidacy over the next month. He said there is"no discussion of debt, deficit and government spending in Washington these days," when asked why he is considering a run. "The President said we're not going to touch the very things that drive debt and spending," he said."So I think that we're walking our way into one heck of a financial storm and there's no discussion.
Meet the GOP challenger taking on Trump 11:27The chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, Drew McKissick, said in a statement,"The last time Mark Sanford had an idea this dumb, it killed his Governorship. This makes about as much sense as that trip up the Appalachian trail."In 2009, Sanford, who was governor of the state at the time, infamously disappeared for a few days and told the public he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
