Tim Scott, the only Black Republican senator, would be the nation’s first Black Republican president if elected
During a Wednesday morning interview on Fox News, Scott repeated some of the messaging from his video, also noting that, on his recent “listening tour” through early-voting states, he had heard from voters “starving for a positive, optimistic vision that is anchored in American values.”
For months, Scott has been developing the infrastructure to accompany a bid for the White House, building out his political action committee and visiting early voting states. On Wednesday, he’s traveling to Iowa, the state that will kick off the Republican nomination contest early next year. He’ll also swing through the early voting state of New Hampshire this week before heading back to South Carolina for “breakfast, policy discussions, and political update” with donors.
Scott has already shown the ability to attract significant money. Opportunity Matters Fund, a pro-Scott super political action committee, spent more than $20 million to help Republicans in 2022, reporting $13 million-plus on hand to start 2023. Tech billionaire Larry Ellison has donated at least $30 million to the organization since 2021, according to federal filings.
