Tim Scott \u200c(R-SC) expressed his plans for the future, \u2062should he win the 2024 Republican\u2064 nomination and\u200b the White House next year. Scott proposed \u2064former South \u200cCarolina Rep.\u200c Trey \u200dGowdy as a potential FBI director.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;First thing we have to do is fire\u200c Joe Biden,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;The second thing \u200cwe have \u2063to do is fire Merrick Garland \u200dfrom the \u200cDOJ. And the third is fire Christopher\u2062 Wray \u200cfrom \u200dthe FBI. I would\u2064 probably ask my good friend Trey Gowdy to\u200c take over the FBI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Scott&#8217;s Town \u200dHall Highlights<\/h3>\n<p>Scott began his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-knows-he-messed-up-on-fracking-at-debate-and-is-now-doing-damage-control-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Knows He Messed Up On Fracking At Debate And Is Now Doing Damage Control | The Daily Wire\">town hall<\/a> by emphasizing his immigration policy, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-scott-name-checks-trey-gowdy-as-possible-fbi-director-pick\/\" title=\"Tim Scott suggests Trey Gowdy as potential FBI director.\">involves redirecting\u2064 funds allocated<\/a> \u200bto the IRS through President Joe Biden&#8217;s Inflation Reduction \u2062Act to the border. \u2063He then discussed\u2064 education and school choice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s Biden \u200dAmerica, socialism is growing in the regulatory state, is growing\u2062 in our tax system and facets of our lives,&#8221; Scott stated.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200bcrowd had various questions, ranging from the future of work and the role of\u2064 technical\u200c schools to Scott&#8217;s approach to Social Security, Medicare, the FBI, the Department of Education, and early \u2064voting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We, as \u2063Republicans,\u2062 we missed the momentum that was happening,&#8221; Scott admitted, referring to early voting in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Scott was introduced by \u200bGov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA), who has \u200dremained neutral during the primary, causing annoyance to\u2064 former President Donald\u2063 Trump. Reynolds also \u2063spoke at Gov.
