Tim Scott Announces Presidential Bid<\/h2>\n<h3>Rising Out of Poverty<\/h3>\n<p>Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced his candidacy for president on May 22 in North Charleston, South Carolina. In his speech, Scott drew from his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-tebow-at-march-for-life-i-now-get-to-share-my-story-because-my-mom-gave-me-a-chance\/\" title=\"Tim Tebow At March For Life: \u2018I Now Get To Share My Story\u2019 Because \u2018My Mom Gave Me A Chance\u2019\">life story<\/a> of rising from extreme poverty to becoming the GOP\u2019s only black U.S. senator. He stated that he is running for president because Joe Biden and the Democrats are attacking every rung of the ladder that helped him climb.<\/p>\n<h3>A Crowded Field<\/h3>\n<p>Scott\u2019s announcement places him in an already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-mayor-muriel-bowsers-petty-hypocritical-tyranny-must-stop\/\" title=\"D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser\u2019s Petty, Hypocritical Tyranny Must Stop\">crowded field<\/a>, with President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis currently considered the frontrunners in the Republican primary. However, other Republicans, including former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, have also thrown their hats in the ring.<\/p>\n<h3>High-Value Endorsement<\/h3>\n<p>Scott already has one high-value endorsement to his name: that of Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.). Thune spoke at the event, leading a prayer before Scott made his remarks. Thune cited Scott\u2019s work on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a signature bill signed by Trump, as an example of his legislative accomplishments.<\/p>\n<h3>Optimistic Attitude<\/h3>\n<p>Many attendees said they were supporting Scott because of his Christian values, his personal story, and his optimistic attitude. Scott\u2019s campaign slogan, \u201cFaith in America,\u201d indicates the importance of this optimistic approach in Scott\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Pro-Law Enforcement Tone<\/h3>\n<p>Scott also struck a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-scott-formally-announces-2024-presidential-bid\/\" title=\"Tim Scott declares 2024 presidential candidacy.\">strongly pro-law enforcement tone<\/a> during the announcement, saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rich-biden-supporter-gets-taste-of-her-own-socialist-medicine-yall-asking-for-handouts\/\" title=\"Rich Biden Supporter Gets Taste of Her Own Socialist Medicine: \u2018Y\u2019all Asking for Handouts\u2019\">left-wing policies<\/a> were causing crime to increase and endangering the lives of those in low-income city communities. He stated that the far-left is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-county-sheriff-supports-recall-effort-against-d-a-gascon\/\" title=\"Los Angeles County Sheriff Supports Recall Effort Against D.A. Gasc\u00f3n\">ending cash bail<\/a>, demonizing, demoralizing, and defunding the police. <\/p>\n<h3>A Nation in \u2018Retreat\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Scott said that although the United States isn\u2019t in decline, under Biden it has become \u201ca nation in retreat.\u201d He pointed to his differences from President Joe Biden, whom he called \u201cweak.\u201d Scott said that the election is a choice between victimhood and victory, grievance and greatness. <\/p>\n<h3>Voters Testing the Waters<\/h3>\n<p>Several voters who attended the rally said they were interested in Scott but not ready to commit to giving him their support. Many suggested that they were at the event to \u201ctest the waters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aspect of our nation\u2019s founding and the American way of life,\u201d said Scott, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":1935978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[4506,18574,4468,3849,8063,8301],"class_list":["post-1935977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-epoch-times","tag-4506","tag-candidacy","tag-declares","tag-presidential","tag-scott","tag-tim"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1935977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1935978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1935977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1935977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1935977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
