Senator Tim Scott Makes Moves Towards 2024 Presidential Bid

US

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) has announced that he is launching a presidential exploratory committee, considered a major step toward formally announcing a 2024 White House bid.

  • Scott said in a video statement: “I know America is a land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. ... If the radical left gets their way, millions more families will be trapped in failing schools, crime ridden neighborhoods and crushing inflation. Not on my watch.”
  • Punchbowl News: “Creating an exploratory committee allows the 57-year-old Scott — who easily won another Senate term last November — to act like a presidential candidate without being one, which he’s been doing anyway. Scott can conduct polls, travel and speak to others about whether he should formally become a candidate.”
  • Washington Post notes that Scott has been occasionally critical of former President Donald Trump, writing that is Scott, "is seen by many Republicans as part of a new generation of leaders in the party at a moment when some voters and officials have sought to move on from former president Donald Trump."
