Tim Scott enters the race with more cash on hand than any other presidential candidate in U.S. history -- $22 million.
Like others in the GOP race, including former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and "Woke, Inc." author Vivek Ramaswamy, Scott's early task will be finding a way to stand out in a field led by Trump andOne way Scott hopes to do that is his trademark optimistic rhetoric.
The Democratic National Committee responded to Scott’s announcement by dismissing the notion that Scott offers much of an alternative to Trump’s policies. DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who ran unsuccessfully for Senate in South Carolina in 2020, released a statement Monday calling the senator "a fierce advocate of the MAGA agenda," a reference to the former president's "Make America Great Again" movement.
But Scott has pushed the party on some policing overhaul measures since the killing of George Floyd, and he has occasionally criticized Trump’s response to racial tensions. Throughout their disagreements, though, Scott has maintained a generally cordial relationship with Trump, saying in his book that the former president "listened intently" to his viewpoints on race-related issues.
"I will be the President who destroys the liberal lie that our country is evil," he said Monday. "We need to stop canceling our Founding Fathers and start celebrating them."
