Member of House for Freedom House “seriously consider” running for southern Carolina Gov
EXCLUSIVE: Ambassador Ralph Norman, Rs.c., “seriously considers” running for South Carolina Governor, he told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“I have been here for eight years and have been doing a job well,” Norman said outside the US capitol, where he helped a discussion of government funding of a law supporting the President Donald Trump.
Norman said he was a solid believer within the boundaries of the term in Congress, but he added, “Maybe I’ll be back. We’ll see.”
“But the Governor’s race has some appeal to it,” he said.

Norman first won his place in the 2016 house during the same elections that Trump sent to the White House for their first term.
He is a conservative fiscal hawk and a key member of the Institute of Freedom House.
Norman’s house website also considers it a lifelong resident of the 5th Congress District of South Carolina, where it serves.

News about Punchbowl Earlier this year, he reported that Norman was thinking of running for the governor. However, his comments Fox News Digital on Tuesday seem like a pronounced escalation in his flirtaires with a higher office.
Norman had previously considered a primary challenge against long -standing Republican Southern South Caroline Lindsey Graham.
But the candidate for government could put him on a collision course with a colleague of Conservative of the house, an envoy of Nancy Mace, Rs.c.

Mace said Associated Press Earlier this year that she was similarly “seriously considering” running for the governor.

Another name hovering within the Palmetto State is South Carolina State Attorney Alan Wilson.
Norman and Mace are both loud Trump supporters, although they both had their own public breaks from the president. Norman especially supported a colleague of southern Caroline Nikki Haley as president, but went to the support of Trump immediately after Haley gave up.
Trump himself did not deal with the race.
