Add former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to the list.

Sanford announced Sunday that he will challenge President Trump in the Republican primaries, joining former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R) in doing so. "I'm here to tell you now that I am going to get in," he told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. "As a Republican Party, we have lost our way."
