"Tim Scott and Bill Haslam join forces while Florida Democrats struggle to defeat Rick Scott"

Tim Scott has chosen former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam as national co-chair of his upcoming presidential campaign, along with other allies. Haslam's support for Scott suggests that he will secure support from high-profile Republicans beyond his colleagues in the Senate. Scott enters the presidential field with more than $21 million in his federal campaign account, more than any other Republican in the race.
