(The Guardian) Tim Scott files paperwork to make presidential run official
South Carolina’s Republican senator Tim Scott has submitted paperwork to officially begin his campaign for president, Reuters reports.
Scott, the sole Black GOP lawmaker in the Senate, has on Monday scheduled a “major announcement” in North Charleston – expected to be the kickoff of his campaign. He’s been making the rounds of early voting states in recent weeks, including Iowa and New Hampshire, and adopted the slogan “Faith in America.”
He joins a Republican primary field alongside former president Donald Trump, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson and ex-United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley. Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor who polls typically show in a distant second place to Trump, is also expected to announce his presidential campaign next Wednesday.
