Former President Trump congratulated Scott on the occasion and criticized Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who is thought to be Trump&#8217;s most likely rival. Trump posted on Truth Social, &#8220;Good luck to Senator Tim Scott in entering the Republican Presidential Primary Race. It is rapidly loading up with lots of people, and Tim is a big step up from Ron DeSanctimonious, who is totally unelectable.&#8221; Trump also mentioned that he and Scott had collaborated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senator-tim-scott-launches-2024-presidential-campaign\/\" title=\"Tim Scott announces 2024 presidential bid.\">create opportunity zones<\/a>, a financial incentive that was part of the 2017 tax reform legislation.<\/p>\n<h3>Scott&#8217;s Presidential Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>Scott officially began his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">presidential campaign<\/a> on Monday in his home state of South Carolina, making him the first senator to enter the race. His biography, which he has said represents the &#8220;American dream,&#8221; took up a significant portion of his address. Scott is the only Black Republican in the Senate.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis&#8217;s Presidential Bid<\/h3>\n<p>Later this week, the Florida governor is also anticipated to officially announce his bid for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lindsey-graham-gop-nomination-is-trumps-for-the-taking-in-2024\/\" title=\"Lindsey Graham: GOP Nomination Is Trump's for the Taking in 2024\">2024 presidential nomination<\/a>. DeSantis&#8217;s campaign has claimed that Trump&#8217;s repeated criticisms of him before his entry into the race are evidence of the governor&#8217;s strength. Trump has not charged the South Carolina presidential hopeful, instead choosing to concentrate on DeSantis, who is trailing Trump in the majority of national polls and surveys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Tim Scott announced his 2024 Republican presidential nomination candidacy.
