Tim Scott Considers 2024 White House Run

Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a possible presidential bid in 2024. Scott, the only Black Republican senator, has been building out his political action committee and visiting early voting states. He would be the nation’s first Black Republican president if elected. Scott has signaled that he may distinguish himself from other potential Republican rivals by leaning into a more hopeful message than the grievance-based politics advocated by others.
