he takes the seat left vacant by tim scott, appointed to the senate. mr. sanford previously was south carolina's governor. shortly after his swearing in, the congress then spoke briefly on the house floor. -- the congressman spoke briefly on the house floor. before the house of communication. >> i haven't honor to submit the certificate of election received from mark hammond, secretary of the state of south carolina, indicating that the special election held may 7, 2013, the honorable mark sanford was elected representatives in congress for the first congressional district state of south carolina. >> the house will be in order. representative elect sanford and members of the south carolina delegation, please present yourselves in the well of the house. will members rise. in the representative elect raise his right hand. mr. sanford. do you sound leaf where you will support and the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that he will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, but you take this obligation freely without

this is a district that voted 60% for mitt romney, 63% for tim scott. gotten less than 60% in that district in the last 20 years. so the fact that it's so close, i think, is testament to how hard she's worked and the great campaign she's run and what a flawed candidate mark sanford is. >> now a few big name republicans like senators lindsey graham, tim scott and rand paul and governor nikki haley recently started rallying around sanford. but with the election just three days from now, is it too little, too late? where were they earlier? >> i don't know. that's a lot of big, heavy duty firepower that governor sanford was lucky enough to bring in at the last minute. and that should make -- that could make a difference. i mean when you are down in the low country, you see six ads to one, a lot of out-of-state money, i'm not criticizing that, i'm just giving you the facts that she's running six ads to one against sanford and he's never had that kind of assault. of course he also gave the ammunition for them to make that assault on him. so it's a race that s

he won last night's special election to replace republican congressman tim scott who is now a senator. sanford defeated the democrat elizabeth colbert bush, sister of comedy central's stephen colbert. >>> guilty of first-degree murder, the verdict in the phoenix trial of jodi arias. the event has become a spectacle, a tv series on cable all its own. a massive crowd cheered outside the courtroom when the verdict was read. almost five years ago her boyfriend travis alexander was found with 27 stab wounds, a gunshot wound, his throat slashed. so the first-degree murder verdict was not a surprise in this salacious case. now the penalty phase starts to decide on the death penalty. >>> still ahead for us tonight, doctors say millions of men have unnecessary surgery to treat prostate cancer. but tonight there is a new test to figure out if surgery is really necessary. >>> and later a new chapter perhaps in the making for great britain. what the queen did today that has her subjects thinking about what could come next. >>> we have medical news tonight on prostate cancer. of course any advance

she picked tim scott to fill the senate seat. jim demint quit his senate seat late last year because he got a better offer, he took a job as the guy that runs the heritage foundation, a conservative think take, policy analysis and research from a right wing perspective. it was kind of a weird hire for the heritage foundation, not because jim demint is not a famous guy, but jim demint was not the thinkiest united states senator out there. previously, he had owned an advertising firm, his legislative agenda was things like sponsoring the commemorative coins reform act. it would have forced senators to pay for the printing costs of commemorative resolutions. earth shifting policy wonkery was not what jim demint was known for in the senate. he was a campaigner, tried to get other super duper conservatives elected. sharron angle in nevada, those can still be seen in another galaxy today, but the heritage foundation is in the news today because it is trying to kill the prospect of immigration reform. they are trying to kill it. the her
