Republican US Senator Tim Scott has entered the 2024 presidential race
The impoverished child of a single mother and the only Black Republican in the U.S. Senate, Scott often points to his personal story as proof that America remains a land of promise.
Scott often called out Trump when he was president for making racially insensitive comments and blocked several of his judicial nominees for that reason as well. At the same time, the South Carolina senator has accused Democrats of exploiting racial tensions for partisan gain. 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.earlier this month he was switching his allegiance to Scott from DeSantis amid concerns about DeSantis' electability.While Scott has a solidly conservative voting record in the Senate, he has attempted to portray himself as unusually compassionate.
In 2020, he was tapped by Republican leaders to develop police-reform legislation, after several high-profile police killings of Black people spurred nationwide protests.
