South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott has entered the race for his party’s 2024 presidential nomination. Scott officially announced his candidacy Monday at a campaign rally in North Charleston.

Sen. Tim Scott: “Joe Biden and the radical left are attacking every single rung of the ladder that helped me climb. And that’s why I’m announcing today that I am running for president of the United States of America!”

Senator Scott is the 11th Black senator in U.S. history, and only the second African American Republican senator since Reconstruction in the 1860s and ’70s. He has “A” ratings from anti-abortion and pro-gun groups.
