In a move that's set to shake up the already packed Republican primary in South Carolina, former Governor Mark Sanford has thrown his hat into the ring, announcing his candidacy for the US Senate seat. Sanford, a two-term governor and former congressman, will be challenging Trump-endorsed candidate Katie Arrington's replacement, Darrin "Darin" Graham, who secured the former president's backing in the hopes of securing the nomination. As a vocal critic of President Trump during his time in office, Sanford's entry into the primary is expected to add an interesting dynamic, pitting him against a candidate who has the former president's full support. With the primary set to heat up, voters in South Carolina are in for a treat as they weigh the competing visions of these two high-profile candidates.
