Mark Sanford Joins Senate Race | Savannah News

Mark Sanford’s back in the race — officially launching his bid for South Carolina’s open Senate seat, the same one vacated by Lindsey Graham. After briefly eyeing a House run that fizzled, Sanford’s now doubling down on fiscal conservatism, calling the nation’s debt crisis a defining moment he can’t ignore. But don’t expect an easy path: he’s stepping into a crowded GOP primary with at least seven declared rivals, including Rep. Ralph Norman and interim Sen. Darline Graham, all vying for the nomination. Early voting kicks off August 5th, with the primary set for August 11th — a race that could reshape South Carolina’s political landscape.
