Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., suggested Thursday that his Republican colleagues may be "holding back" on endorsing a candidate for president because they are waiting for Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C, to officially jump in the race.
“I think Tim Scott would be a great person. Look, he’s intelligent. He gets it. He works well with people. He’s finding a path forward that would unite, I think, Republicans and independents, which is what we need to gain back the White House,” Rounds told NBC News in an interview in the Capitol.
“A lot of us that are holding back on looking at anybody else until Tim makes up his mind,” Rounds added. “And then once he’s made his decision at that point, then a lot of us would really like to see him succeed.”
Scott, who launched an exploratory committee last month, is expected to jump into the race this month, teasing a "major announcement on May 22. So far, 10 GOP senators have weighed in on the presidential race, all of them endorsing former President Donald Trump.
Rounds also criticized former Trump, suggesting lawmakers who want to unite the party may be looking for a Trump alternative in 2024. Rounds has frequently criticized the former president...

“The vast majority of us that were here on Jan. 6 would clearly disagree with the approach that he has in that regard,” Rounds said. “So there are some things that we agreed with, but there are a number of areas where we would have disagreements.”
“In terms of what it does for many of us that are looking to unite the party, we’re still looking," Rounds later added. "We believe that there are individuals out there that want to unite the party, and that’s what we’re looking forward to."

No sale.
These RINO elitists are just like the execs at Bud Light who have NO CLUE what their base wants.
I’ve been holding back my support of “Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D.” for a few years now.
He’s a Deep State RINO with severe TDS.
[Surprising for a former governator who could balance a budget.]
This type of article is primary evidence that the legacy media is just a department of the Democrat party.
I get the impression that when push comes to shove, Tim Scott is first ruled by the Race Card, with Republican concerns playing a very distant second place.
Tim Scott? Who’s that?
He’s not even polling. Mike Pence and Nikki Haley are at the bottom of most polls. And Scott?
Nowhere.

Yes, Scott is a John “Lindsey” Gacy apprentice.
He is very much a deep state plant, in line with the Romney’s of the world. My question to Scott would be what sacrifice has he made to the Golden Calf puppet masters?
Cameltoe Harris has more gravitas than Tim Scott. /spit
Doubtful
They are not law makers they are law breakers.
Looks pretty unified to me:

No!!
.
Tim Scott wanted Mueller to expand and continue his Investigation of Trump, later he Proclaimed Joe Biden “a good Man,” and said that Lisa Murkowski are the the kind of Senators the Republicans need.
.
Tim Scott is only a Republican because the Democrat Party (to whom he went first) was not terribly excited about having him as a candidate. The GOP, of course, fell all over themselves to have their token black candidate. Why does South Carolina keep electing transparently closeted homosexuals?
Ok, now we’re going to the absurd.
"Like all RINOs we burn a copy of US Constitution each
morning, before helping McConnell bring in Fentanyl and
cocaine, and then helping ALL RINOs transfer US taxpayer
money to the Ukraine, the families of Biden,
Romney, Pelosi, Black, and terrorists. Help us continue."
