Tim Scott's Presidential Bid: A Threat to Trump's Re-Election?

Sen. Tim Scott has announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race, and while he is polling in single digits, he has already proven to be a formidable fundraiser with over $22 million in the bank. Donald Trump and his aides view a crowded GOP primary as advantageous to the ex-president’s chances of winning, believing a splintered field only hurts his main competitors. Trump has put out a conciliatory statement welcoming Scott's announcement, but one that also took a swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce his bid soon.
