In a big week for the 2024 GOP race, Republican Sen. Tim Scott leads it with his announcement today to get into the race.
It will make Scott the most prominent black lawmaker in the race.
He plans to call for an “optimistic, positive message anchored in conservatism.”
Asked by Fox News if Republican voters are receptive to his positive message, Scott pointed to his recent stops in the two states that kick off the GOP presidential nominating calendar and emphasized “what I’ve seen in Iowa and New Hampshire is that voters are thrilled to have a conversation about optimism, a conversation about how to move this country forward together.”
