Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford ended his presidential campaign on Tuesday, just 60 days after announcing his candidacy.
Sanford had campaigned as a Republican in a long-shot bid to take on President Trump in the party’s primaries. The candidate failed to gain a large following and blamed media coverage of the impeachment inquiry into Trump for keeping attention focused on the President.
“You gotta be a realist, and what I did not anticipate is an impeachment,” Sanford told reporters at a press conference in New Hampshire.
Trump’s two other little-known primary challengers are Illinois congressman Joe Walsh and former Massachusetts governor William Weld.
