Tim Scott Enters 2024 Presidential Race as Trump Challenger.

Senator Tim Scott, the Senate's lone Black Republican, announced his candidacy for president, coming into the 2024 race with more cash on hand than all of his competitors. Scott, who grew up in working-class poverty, declared his candidacy at his alma mater, Charleston Southern University, speaking enthusiastically in front of a backdrop of supporters, his name and campaign slogan, "Faith in America." He filed official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to enter the race, setting into motion a $6 million ad-buy in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states of the Republican nominating contest.
