During\u200d the\u2064 engagement, Scott highlighted his humble beginnings and\u2062 expressed how honored\u2064 he feels about \u200dthe potential vice presidential\u2062 candidacy. <\/p>\n<p>Scott also \u200breflected on the socio-political progress in the Southern U.S., praising \u2064the advancements towards Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s vision of judging individuals by character rather than skin color. He criticized the Democratic Party&#8217;s policies, suggesting they perpetuate poverty, and expressed his desire to\u2064 debate their impact on the\u2062 African-American community. This discussion occurred amidst speculation\u2062 about his chances of being selected as Trump\u2019s running mate as the former president prepares for an upcoming debate against Joe Biden in Atlanta and possibly an announcement at the Republican National Convention.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-scott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Scott\">Tim Scott<\/a> (R-SC) has at least one major life event coming up, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3059114\/trump-may-announce-vp-pick-before-debate-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Scott\">possibly two<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Scott, who is on former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s running mate short list, dished on his engagement to Mindy Noce in a Fox News interview accompanied by his fiancee.

The one thing I feel at peace about is fulfilling the mission \u2014 the mission of helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott sat down for a pair of interviews with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-msnbc-feverishly-courting-jen-psaki-for-post-white-house-cable-news-spot-report\/\" title=\"CNN, MSNBC \u2018Feverishly\u2019 Courting Jen Psaki For Post White House Cable News Spot: Report\">cable news giant<\/a>, one solo and one with Noce. Both can be seen below, and each was conducted at Seacoast Church near Charleston, where the pair will be married later this summer.<\/p>\n<p>He is far from the only Republican vying to be Trump\u2019s running mate, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-congressman-asks-blinken-to-explain-us-funding-of-conservative-blacklist-group\/\" title=\"GOP Congressman Asks Blinken to Explain US Funding of Conservative Blacklist Group\">recent reporting suggests<\/a> three other surrogates are being vetted more seriously, but he addressed speculation he could be chosen as the former president prepares to announce his choice ahead of or at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Republican-National-Convention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republican National Convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the evolution of the Southern heart that we see on display, and we Southerners get so little credit for the progress we\u2019ve made,\u201d Scott said about the possibility of being a candidate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Vice-President\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>vice president<\/a>. \u201cThe whole notion of judging a person on the content of their character, not the color of their skin, has happened.

While he ran for president, Scott agreed with Trump that he was a better booster than candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Scott made clear he wants the vice presidential gig, adding, \u201cI desperately want to fulfill the position the good Lord has given me, and whatever the position is that helps me get that done, on behalf of the American people, I want to do that every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott\u2019s relationship with Noce was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2569226\/republican-debate-tim-scotts-girlfriend-revealed-on-miami-stage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"announced publicly\">announced publicly<\/a> less than a year ago, and the pair got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2817143\/tim-scott-trump-vp-speculation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"announced publicly\">engaged<\/a> in January. Both announcements fueled further speculation about the timing of the marriage, given Scott\u2019s interest in the running mate slot, but the couple insisted in their interview that they simply met at church, set up by friends who wanted them to go on a pickleball date.<\/p>\n<p>Noce, when asked about the prospect of becoming the second lady, noted her interest in honoring military veterans.
