The billionaire former governor has a network of donors and relationships that Scott can now tap into.
Tim Scott will join a growing field of candidates attempting what appears to be an increasingly difficult task of overtaking Trump to be the GOP standard bearer. | Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesTim Scott has tapped former Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam as national co-chair of his imminent presidential campaign, part of a slate of nationwide and homestate allies the South Carolina senator is assembling ahead of his launch next week.
The former governor’s decision to get on board with the campaign suggests Scott will secure support from high-profile Republicans beyond his colleagues in the Senate — 11 of whom have endorsed Trump, while the majority of GOP senators remain on the sidelines. It also opens the door for Scott to a new network of donors and relationships that Haslam, a billionaire himself, has at his disposal.
Johnson, an entrepreneur who currently serves as CEO of U.S. Brick, was also a longtime donor and ally of Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador — and now presidential candidate — with whom Johnson attended high school in Bamberg County.
