South Carolina Senator Tim Scott unveiled his ‘2024 presidential exploratory committee’ Wednesday morning, taking a major step towards challenging Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.
I will never back down in defense of the conservative values that make America exceptional.
That's why I'm announcing my exploratory committee for President of the United States.
This fight is personal.

“I will never back down in defense of the conservative values that make America exceptional. And that’s why I’m announcing my exploratory committee for president of the United States,” Scott said in a video posted on Twitter.
What an exciting day!
Americans are starving for hope, starving for an optimistic message anchored in conservative values.

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking the past few months,” Scott wrote in an email Tuesday night. “I’ve been thinking about my faith. I’ve been thinking about the future of our country. And I’ve been thinking about the Left’s plan to ruin America.”
“I believe we give the voters a choice … so they can decide how we move forward. As opposed to trying to have a conversation about how to beat a Republican, I think we’re better off having a conversation about beating Joe Biden,” Scott added.
