Nikki Haley and Tim Scott: South Carolina candidates battle for hearts of voters and donors
The pair made history in 2012 when Haley appointed Scott to the U.S. Senate. He was the first black senator in South Carolina. The two have had political ties over the years, and Haley endorsed Scott’s reelection bid in 2021.Here's a breakdown of where things stand should Scott toss his hat in the 2024 ring:
“It just seems to me that, Scott, because he's a senator and has the key positions in Congress, he's going to be able to kind of raise some kind of money from that,” Feehery said.Scott’s video, titled “Faith in America,” covers his dedication to America’s faith values and religious liberty. Crowds at the forum welcomed Scott and Haley with open arms. They both received standing ovations as they entered and exited the stage.
With Haley's campaign in full swing and Scott’s on the potential rise, one hot topic question remains among onlookers: Can Haley or Scott outbid Trump? Haley garnering support from some of Trump's most prominent donors could clear a path for more ex-Trump supporters to test her waters. Scott has won every race he has entered since 2008, and he has fundraised more than his opponents each time.
"We raised over $11 million in six weeks," an April 10 memo to supporters reads."That's more than Donald Trump raised in his first quarter in this race and more than nearly all the Republican presidential candidates in 2016 raised in their first quarter."The breakdown is as follows: Adding up the figures from the three committees equals $11 million, but when you subtract the total transfers, totaling $2.7 million, the total is $8.3 million.
