Tim Scott's 2024 Presidential Campaign Gains Momentum in GOP Primary Field.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency. While he has failed to make a dent in Trump's enduring popularity among GOP voters, he remains unencumbered by the former president or his legacy. Scott is expected to focus on Iowa's evangelical voters, who could power him to a caucus victory there. His appeals to them are expected to be deeply personal in nature, free of the contrivance and pandering that campaigning usually demands.
