The Senator has seen a modest bounce since entering the GOP race last month.
Rhodes, who served as Iowa campaign director for Ben Carson’s 2016 presidential run, said the field is so calcified that the Scott campaign will likely have to turn out some 5,000 or 10,000 new voters in the first-in-the-nation caucus state to be seen as viable. Making matters even harder: he’d have to do so without alienating Trump or DeSantis voters.
His strategy relies on his trademark upbeat campaign style and his message of unity. He leans heavily into his biography, reminding voters his family went from “cotton to Congress,” in one lifetime, underscoring his assertion that America is not a racist nation. As a Black person who overcame adversity and championed Republican principles, Scott is appealing to many Republicans. But not, some GOP operatives say, as a candidate to vote for so much as a leader who can blunt criticism that the GOP has devolved into a white grievance party.
