U.S. Sen. Tim Scott announced Wednesday he is launching a presidential exploratory committee ahead of next year’s election.
Scott is in his second full term as South Carolina’s junior senator. He was first elected in 2014 in a special election to replace Sen. Jim DeMint. Scott is one of three Black senators and just five Black Republican lawmakers in Congress.He said President Joe Biden and the “radical left” use race “to divide us.”
Scott’s potential entry into the field would add to a growing list of Republicans vying for the nomination. They include former President Donald Trump,former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
