"Tim Scott's Presidential Ambitions and Political Allies"

The presidential campaigns of former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are causing tensions among GOP donors and supporters in the state. Both are considered long shots against former President Donald Trump, and many doubt they will make it as far as the first-in-the-South GOP primary, making the scramble for support even more intense. While allies insist they maintain a cordial relationship, some on both sides of the divide privately view the other with increasing wariness and see a heated competition for home state support.
