Tim Scott's Presidential Bid Gains Support and Attention from Republicans and Elon Musk

Senate Minority Whip John Thune, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, is set to endorse the presidential campaign of Sen. Tim Scott, becoming the highest-ranking congressional Republican to back the South Carolina senator. Thune is making good on his hopes of turning the GOP away from Trump and presenting a more forward-looking vision for the party. Scott will announce his presidential run on Monday in North Charleston and has already launched an ad blitz.
