The Tim Scott Announcement

Tim Scott is one of the few politicians that I literally have nothing critical to say about. As the only African American Republican in the Senate, Scott has one of the most compelling stories of anyone on either side of the aisle. Scott - a direct decedent of slaves - is the definition of someone who has lived the American dream. Let me explain why Tim Scott will make for a formidable challenger in 2024.
Tim Scott as a candidate is strong. A Scott-Noem ticket will be extremely strong.
Scott is an eminently decent man and if he gets the nomination I'll support him. In the primaries, all things being equal, if the choice is between a sitting Senator and a sitting or former governor I'm biased towards a governor. They have real experience in governing. Senatorial experience counts for nothing here.
