Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has officially launched his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, joining Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the race. Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy commented on the race on Sunday, saying on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he does not think Donald Trump can win a general election in 2024.
Cassidy was responding to DeSantis’ alleged statement that there are only three “credible” candidates for president ― Trump, President Joe Biden and himself ― and that only the latter two could win in the general election. Cassidy said that the alleged claim by DeSantis is “a nice way for him to diss people like Tim Scott, who’s a pretty formidable candidate.”
Scott filed paperwork on Friday to establish a campaign after months of positioning himself for a run, and he held his official launch on Monday. He is the first Republican to officially enter the race, and DeSantis is expected to officially launch his campaign this week.
Scott is a Republican senator from South Carolina and has been a vocal advocate for conservative policies. He has been a vocal supporter of President Trump, and has been a vocal critic of President Biden’s policies.
