South Carolina Republican Mark Sanford is ending his run for his former congressional seat just one month after launching his comeback bid.
Sanford—dubbed “Love Guv” after admitting to an extramarital affair while serving as South Carolina’s governor in 2009—confirmed he is no longer attempting to win back the seat soon to be vacated by Rep. Nancy Mace.
Instead, Sanford is stepping away from electoral politics entirely and will launch a nonprofit focused on the nation’s growing debt and deficit, The Post and Courier reported.
