Sen. Tim Scott to Make “Major Announcement” in North Charleston, South Carolina on May 22 – Could it be a 2024 Presidential Campaign?

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., announced on Sunday that he will make a “major announcement” in North Charleston, South Carolina on May 22. Scott, 57, has been teasing a White House bid for months, and launched an exploratory committee for a 2024 presidential campaign last month.

At a town hall in Charleston, Scott said the nation is once again being tested and that it was time to make the final step. He was joined by a room full of cheering supporters, as well as a film crew that a longtime Scott adviser said was gathering “content” for future use.

Scott did not definitively say that he would be announcing his official campaign, but he encouraged those in attendance to be present for the announcement. In a video announcing the exploratory committee, Scott took aim at President Joe Biden, who is seeking a second term.

The announcement will take place in North Charleston, which Scott calls home. Scott’s exploratory committee is the first step in the process of officially entering the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Scott’s announcement will be closely watched by political observers, as it will provide a better indication of the Republican field for the 2024 election. It is expected that Scott will make his decision known at the event, and the outcome will have a major impact on the race for the Republican nomination.
