Tim Scott Ends Presidential Campaign After Girlfriend Reveal

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the suspension of his presidential campaign during a televised interview on Fox News with Trey Gowdy. The decision came as a surprise to his own staff, who had no prior knowledge of Scott's decision. Despite efforts to boost his chances in the Republican presidential contest, Scott remained in the low-single digits in polling and was at risk of failing to qualify for the next debate. His departure from the race is seen as a blow to establishment Republicans who hoped he could be a viable alternative to former President Donald Trump.
