President Trump now has 3 GOP primary challengers, but they won't be given a chance to compete in at least 4 states after Republicans in those places decided to scrap their presidential nominating contests in favor of supporting Trump.
Sanford, a conservative who clashed with Trump when he served in Congress, said on MSNBC on Monday that he's running because Republicans have turned their back on their values in favor of personal allegiance to Trump.
Sanford said he would consider legal or other challenges to South Carolina GOP's action, but acknowledged his entire campaign is an uphill battle against the incumbent. "These are decisions made entirely by state parties, and there are volumes of historical precedents to support them," said Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh."Nevertheless, President Trump will dominate and prevail in whatever contest is placed before him."
