Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is set to make a decision on a 2024 presidential run on May 22, following the creation of an exploratory committee aimed at raising money for polling and travel. With anticipation building around this "major announcement," all eyes are on Scott as he prepares to possibly join the race against former President Donald Trump's commanding lead over other GOP challengers.
During a recent speech in front of packed supporters, Sen. Scott shared his self-made success story as the son of a single mother and criticized Democratic leaders for needlessly dividing the country by fostering a "culture of grievance." In light of Trump's surge to 62 percent support among Republican primary voters in April, many wonder how Scott will differentiate himself from his potential rivals.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has seen his support drop significantly, crashing down to just 16 percent among Republican voters. Meanwhile, both DeSantis and Mike Pence have hinted that they too could make announcements about their own presidential campaigns soon.
Addressing his intentions with regard to running for president, Sen. Tim Scott stated: “It’s time to take the ‘Faith in America’ tour beyond just an exploratory committee.” He added that he would decide whether or not to run for the Republican nomination “well before late June.”
As May 22 approaches, political analysts eagerly await any indications about which direction Sen. Tim Scott might lean towards when making his major announcement – potentially shaking up an already dynamic field filled with formidable contenders aiming for the coveted spot atop their party’s ticket come Election Day.
In addition to announcing plans surrounding his possible candidacy bid later this month, Paul Roland Bois – who directed award-winning feature film EXEMPLUM – also hints at future projects keeping him busy within Hollywood circles during these politically uncertain times.
