Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) is expected to run for the state’s 1st Congressional district, currently being vacated by Rep. Tim Scott who is replacing Sen. Jim DeMint in the Senate, CNN reports:
“He’s looking all but certain to do it,” said a former top aide to Sanford, who did not want to be identified while prematurely revealing the plans.
A formal announcement will come soon, the source said.
Sanford’s ex-wife, Jenny, is also reportedly considering a bid for the seat.
