"Sen. Tim Scott Forms Presidential Exploratory Committee for 2024 Election"

Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has launched an exploratory committee for a potential presidential bid, allowing him to raise funds that could be transferred to an official campaign. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, has planned travel to Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina as part of his "Faith in America" tour. He would join a crowded Republican primary field that includes former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. However, a recent poll shows Scott badly trailing Trump in his home state.
