"I am here to tell you now that I am going to get in," Mr Sanford said in an interview on Fox News Sunday. He said he would launch a formal campaign this week.
"I think we need to have a conversation on what it means to be a Republican," Mr Sanford continued. "I think that as the Republican Party, we have lost our way."
Mr Sanford has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump's since the 2016 presidential election. He was previously the governor of South Carolina, where he lost his seat in congress in the 2018 midterm election.
