Those are the same veterans and blue collars who helped put Trump in the White House, he said. Tommy Hartnett, Arthur Ravenel Jr., Henry Brown, Tim Scott and Mark Sanford — representing 38 years of continual service — have been invited to take part in a recognition and fundraiser sponsored by the Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester GOPs. Parnell’s campaign website and fundraising outlet remains out of service, taken down by disgruntled staffers after they ditched his campaign following the revelation. But nationally, Democrats have moved on from the race. President Donald Trump has said he flat-out does not like Mark Sanford, but apparently he does like one of Sanford’s D.C. budget ideas. During a Tuesday lunch with members of Congress, Trump voiced his support for a plan to reign in federal spending. It was the same concept Sanford outlined in a bill he sponsored in April. Known as the “penny plan,” the bill calls on Congress to reduce federal spending by 1 percent each year. “There’s a group in the House that’s ready to cut spending,” Graves said. Trump then eyed his White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, who was formerly a South Carolina congressman.
