Washington (AFP) - Former Republican governor Mark Sanford announced Sunday he is entering the race for his party's presidential nomination, in a long-shot challenge to President Donald Trump.
Sanford, who would be the third Republican to mount a primary bid against Trump, said he had decided to run because of the "astounding" debt and deficits piled up during his presidency.
"I think as a Republican party we have lost our way," he said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."
"The president has called himself the king of debt, has a familiarity and comfort level with debt that I think ultimately is leading us in the wrong direction."
Sanford's decision comes amid reports that Republican officials in some states, including his home state of South Carolina as well as Nevada and Arizona, are considering canceling their 2020 primaries.
Asked whether he really thought he could defeat Trump, Sanford replied: "I'm saying, you never know."
"I'm listing my goals, my primary goals to say let's go out and force, or try and create a conversation on that which is not being talked about in this presidential cycle," he said.

I’ll win as many delegates as he will.

Calling them “challengers” is a bit of an overstatement. I doubt that if you polled all of them would rack up 3% combined.
