South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott endorsed Donald Trump, a blow to Nikki Haley in her bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
“In America we bring in $4.8 trillion of revenues and President Biden has decided this year he’s going to spend $7 trillion,” the senator explained. “That’s immoral, it’s unethical, it’s just wrong.”
“Whenever the Democrats feel threatened, they pull out—drag out—the former President, have him make some negative comments about someone running, hoping that their numbers go down.”
Mr. Scott is right, and it’s worth asking why.
“Joe Biden and the radical Left are attacking every rung of the ladder that helped me climb,” the second-term senator said. “And that is why I am announcing today that I am running for president of the United States of America.”
According to a Reuters poll posted at realclearpolitics.org, Trump is the favorite of 43 percent of registered Republicans. DeSantis is showing 31 percent. Pence scored 7 percent, and Haley trails with 4 percent. The poll was conducted Feb. 6-13, before Haley announced her candidacy.
