Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina launched a 2024 exploratory committee on Wednesday, putting him on the path to an official campaign and showdown with former President Donald Trump in the GOP primary.
, said he will “never back down in defense of the conservative values that make America exceptional.”
He would square off against Mr. Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the Republican who appointed him to his Senate in 2012 before he won a series of elections to remain a senator. Mr. Scott barely registers in available polling but he would be a major player in the GOP primary. He is well-liked by colleagues and upbeat, offering a contrast to Mr. Trump’s dire warnings about the direction of the country, and he is the only Black Republican in the Senate.
“The spoons in our apartment were plastic, not silver,” he said. “But we had faith. We put in the work and we had an unwavering belief that we, too, could live the American dream.”
