Sen. Tim Scott to Make Major Announcement on May 22 Regarding Presidential Bid

Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has teased a "major announcement" on May 22, indicating that he will formally enter the 2024 GOP presidential primary after launching an exploratory committee earlier this month. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, has been testing the waters for months, emphasizing his evangelical faith, his race, and his experience growing up as the son of a single mother. He defined his personal ethos as one of "individual responsibility" and his approach to politics guided by the belief that the US is "the land of opportunity and not the land of oppression."
