Following Senator Tim Scott’s 2024 announcement, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Trav Robertson Jr. released the following statement:
“In South Carolina, we know first hand that Tim Scott is a Tea Party extremist who can’t name a single policy difference with Donald Trump. Scott has spent his time in Washington cosponsoring multiple national abortion bans, supporting plans to gut Medicare and Social Security, and putting special interests like Wall Street and wealthy real estate developers ahead of working people.
As the field of extreme 2024 Republican candidates vying for the MAGA base expands, Scott will fit right into their competition for who can embrace the most extreme agenda.”
