Tim Scott to announce 2024 presidential bid on May 22.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced that he will reveal his decision on entering the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on May 22. Scott has been inching closer to formally entering the GOP nomination race, where he would join other announced candidates, including former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and "anti-woke" biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Another potential candidate is Nikki Haley, the former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor who appointed Scott in 2012 to the Senate, where he is the sole Black Republican.
