Tim Scott

A lot hangs in the balance on who former President Donald Trump chooses as his running mate: the vice presidential nominee might shape the MAGA movement or could woo voters who lean moderate.

Since a failed presidential bid, Sen. Tim Scott has been one of Trump's strongest supporters. Now, as the former president readies to pick a running mate, Scott is focused on winning him Black voters.

The South Carolina Republican, a prominent figure in Congress, dropped his own bid for president in November. Now Scott is throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump.

In a live appearance on Fox News, Tim Scott announced he is suspending his bid for the GOP nomination.

Five Republican candidates — minus the front-runner — are set to debate in Florida on Wednesday night. Here's who will be there — and who won't be — and how to watch.

Republicans are looking at a crowded field to challenge President Biden for the 2024 presidential election and most will face off on a Milwaukee stage Wednesday night for the first GOP debate.

President Biden meanwhile has seen his approval rating stabilize and is well liked among Democrats, though he faces challenges with independents and younger voters.

Tim Scott has a major announcement Monday in his home state of South Carolina. He is expected to announce a run for the White House and an official FEC filing Friday makes that even more likely.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has taken a significant step toward a presidential bid, launching an exploratory committee. Scott, 57, is the only Black Republican currently in the U.S. Senate.

It should also be noted that making a show of presidential ambition early but then backing off has been an excellent way to get on the national ticket, albeit in the role of running mate.
