Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has entered the 2024 presidential race, according to a filing with the US election regulator.
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has entered the 2024 presidential race, according to a filing with the U.S. election regulator on Friday, in what amounts to a long-shot bet that a message of unity and optimism can still appeal in a party where many voters are hungry for a bare-knuckled fight.
As a Black conservative, Scott is a rarity in a country where politics are sharply divided along racial lines. Some 92% of Black voters backed Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, while 55% of white voters backed Trump. Scott also has a strong rapport with donors. Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, has been a consistent backer and is planning to keep his weight behind the senator for the foreseeable future, according to people close to both men.
Among the policies he has supported are the creation of "opportunity zones" to boost blighted communities and a tax credit program that helps low-income families with children.
