In a surprise move, a former Republican congressman from South Carolina is making a comeback bid to reclaim his House seat in the Charleston area. Mark Sanford, who previously represented the district, lost his seat in 2018 to a challenger backed by then-President Donald Trump. Now, Sanford is throwing his hat back into the ring, seeking to retake the seat and potentially challenge the Trump-backed legacy that contributed to his initial defeat. With his return, Sanford's bid is likely to spark renewed debate on the state of the Republican Party in South Carolina and the implications for the upcoming elections.
