South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has suspended his 2024 presidential campaign, stating that voters have made it clear that it’s not the right time for him.
He also mentioned he won’t be endorsing another candidate and ruled out the possibility of being a running mate.

Scott’s decision surprised some of his staff, and his fundraising was not as strong as initially anticipated.
“I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they’re telling me, ‘Not now, Tim,’” Scott said.
“The best way for me to be helpful is to not weigh in,” he said.
“Being vice president has never been on my to-do list,” he added.
“We live in the land where it is possible for a kid raised in poverty by a single mother in a small apartment to one day serve in the People’s House and maybe even the White House.”
The announcement was met with respect from fellow Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

CNN is visibly shaken at how well Donald Trump is polling.
"Twenty-two percent of black voters behind Trump? That is not seen in the modern era for a Republican frontrunner, right?"
“It’s startling."
