South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott announced his candidacy for president on Monday, and will go into the race with about $22 million in cash, which, like Trump, is likely to lead front-runner Donald Trump. He will be one of J. Trump’s most serious competitors.Scott is hovered around 2% in a Republican preliminary investigation.
After announcing his campaign in his hometown of North Charleston, Scott will head to Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states in the race for the Republican nomination. Scott’s campaign has set aside about $6 million for television and radio advertising in those states, according to advisers with direct knowledge of Scott’s plans. Scott’s campaign also plans to spend millions of dollars in digital advertising targeting voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, leading up to the first Republican preliminary debate in August.
Scott, the most influential elected black conservative in the United States, has a compelling life story on which he is expected to base his campaign. He portrays the American Dream as he rises from poverty to become South Carolina’s first black senator and the only black Republican in the Senate.
Scott rarely criticizes Trump directly, but his message is little different from the former president’s.in the meantime Trump speaks ominously of ‘retaliation’ –his pledge to emasculate civil servants and law enforcement, whom he despisely calls the “Deep State”–Mr. Scott likes Ronald Reagan’s bright language.
“Americans are losing one of the most moving truths we have: hope. The hope is that it will continue to be a shining example of what it means to be a top city.What can happen when free people decide to join forces for self-government,” Scott said. last year’s speech Talk about the future of the Republican Party at the Reagan Library.
“America is at a crossroads,” he said. “There is the potential for a great reset, renewal, or even renewal, where we will choose how we respond to the possibilities of today and the promises of tomorrow.” ‘ said.
So far, there’s little evidence that Scott’s message resonated with the populist segment of the modern Republican Party. The Republican Party has been led in recent years by a contentious former TV star. For years, Republicans have fed on apocalyptic arguments that cast the Democrats as enemies who seek to destroy America. In a party where Trump’s message is dominant,American carnageScott’s words about the importance of unity, hope and salvation may sound like a message from another era.
Scott’s campaign will have to balance his inherently optimistic message with the brutal realities of Republican primary politics.
“We remain true to Scott’s optimistic vision, but we are never afraid to draw contrasts where necessary,” said the adviser, who is familiar with Scott’s plans.
Scott will have enough money to see if a bigger market exists for his idea than the polls suggest. His support for pro-business policies has made him a favorite among Republican donors, like Oracle founder Larry Ellison (who sided with Trump during his White House tenure). There are billionaires who invest millions of dollars. Dollar behind his campaign.
