Former South Carolina Governor and Congressman Mark Sanford announced he’d challenge President Trump for the 2020 Republican nomination for President on Sunday.
The libertarian ideologue will run a campaign on the issue of the United States’ existing national debt.

Sanford, to his credit, is somewhat more willing to run a primary campaign on the basis of actual policy issues than personal grievances.
