Sen. Tim Scott forms exploratory committee for potential presidential run.

Republican Senator Tim Scott has launched a presidential exploratory committee, indicating a possible White House bid in 2024. He will compete against high-profile Republicans, including former President Donald Trump. Scott is currently the only black Republican serving in the US Senate. He will use the committee to gauge his chances of success. If he fails in his White House bid, he could be considered for the Republican vice-presidential nomination or a high-profile administration position.
