But our President is weak,\u201d Scott said. \u201cAmerica is not a nation in decline. But under Joe Biden, we have become a nation in retreat. Retreating from our heritage and our history. Retreating from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-dakota-lowers-unemployment-to-pre-pandemic-levels-after-state-rejected-lockdowns\/\" title=\"South Dakota Lowers Unemployment to Pre-Pandemic Levels After State Rejected Lockdowns\">personal responsibility<\/a> and hard work. Retreating from strength and security. Even retreating from religious liberty and the worship of God himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Scott joins a growing field of GOP hopefuls, including former President Donald Trump, talk radio host Larry Elder, former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. While Scott has lagged in polls up to this point, garnering around 2% support, he enters the contest with $22 million cash on hand and has already reserved $6 million in ads to run in New Hampshire and Iowa.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing Freedom and Hope<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOur party and our nation are standing at a time for choosing. Victimhood or victory? Grievance or greatness? I choose freedom and hope and opportunity,\u201d Scott declared in his announcement speech.<\/p>\n<p>Scott began his career in national politics in 2010 with his election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Two years later, Haley, when she was governor of the state, appointed him to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy left by former Sen. Jim DeMint after he retired.<\/p>\n<h3>Joining the Race for the White House<\/h3>\n<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is running closest to Trump, with the rest of the field trailing far behind.
