Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is finding success wooing his Senate GOP colleagues to his side for a possible 2024 presidential run, with a number of his fellow senators personally encouraging him to get in the race.
Of roughly a dozen Senate Republicans The Hill interviewed, three — Sens. John Thune (S.D.), Mike Rounds (S.D.) and John Cornyn (Texas) — said they have outright encouraged Scott to run for the White House, while two others — Sens. Kevin Cramer (N.D.) and Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.) said they’ve talked with him behind closed doors about his potential run. Almost every other senator spoke glowingly of the South Carolina Republican and indicated they hope he runs or believe he would make a top-level candidate.
“I think he’d be a great candidate. I’m excited about it. I’ve been encouraging him,” Thune told The Hill. “I think he’s getting a lot of encouragement from his colleagues. He’s really well thought of and respected and I think he’d be a really interesting candidate for president, and in a field that kind of could be fairly open.”

Hey Tim...you’re known by the friends you keep.
Well he went to the right kind of school .. a Baptist college ...
The same one I graduated from ...
yawn.
It’s a RINO festival for Tim Scott.
No doubt that Lisa Murkowski, Mitch, and Mitt will join the parade.
LOL!!! Tim doesn’t have ANY chance in hell! Not because he’s black, but because he’s WEAK!
Forget it, Tim.
joke
Ah yes, the other “bachelor” SC Senator; that’s the ticket! A veritable RINO stampede!
Big bag-o-nuthin’.
Kiss of Death - bump for later....
Tim Scott has almost the same chance at the nomination as Asa Hutchinson.
They see Scott as some sort of Republican Barak Obama who can garner the black vote and the suburban women white guilt vote.
Both are not going to happen in significant numbers.
Black people see guys like Scott as an Oreo sell out and token Uncle Tom. They will not turn out for him.
Liberal women are not going to vote for any conservative Republican - Black or White.
Truth is, Donald Trump has the highest support in the Black and Hispanic community than any Republican in recent history.
Yeah, Sure. Seems like a decent guy. Right now, I am not sure we need decent guys. We need aggressive no-holds-barred warriors. Because that’s where we are - we need a George Washington type. Attack them on Christmas type.
Tim and Lindsey have TOO MANY women in their live to choose just one, if that is what you mean.
1% at best.
LOL! Go ahead Tim. Yet another RINO embarrassing himself is always welcome.
About half of the 2% DeoSanctus will get.
Lordy, is that real? How out of touch can he be?
