"Scott gains widespread support in South Carolina for presidential campaign"

Senator Tim Scott has received endorsements from over 140 current and former elected officials from South Carolina, including state lawmakers, mayors, and county-level officials. The endorsements come as Scott and other presidential contenders continue their campaigns amid the indictment of GOP front-runner Donald Trump on federal charges. Scott, who is among the 2024 Republican hopefuls, has criticized the case against Trump and pledged to restore confidence and integrity in the Department of Justice if elected.
