Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, joining a crowded field of candidates. Scott, the only Black Republican serving in the US Senate, emphasized his unique perspective on how conservative policies can best serve the American people. He also highlighted his compelling personal story, from growing up in poverty to serving in Congress.
