Sanford Says Trump Threatened a Primary Challenge
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire
by Taegan Goddard

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) told the Charleston Post & Courier that President Trump threatened to back a primary challenger against him if he didn’t back the GOP health care bill.

The intermediary was Budget Director Mick Mulvaney: “The president asked me to look you square in the eyes and to say that he hoped that you voted ‘no’ on this bill so he could run against you in 2018.”

Said Sanford: “I’ve never had anyone, over my time in politics, put it to me as directly as that.”
