BREAKING: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott announces he is running for president.
— to replace retiring Sen. Jim DeMint. Scott later won the election to fill the rest of his term in 2014 and went on to win full terms in 2016 and again last year. Scott's political career began in the Charleston County Council in the mid-1990s before serving in the state House and the U.S. House.
During a campaign call with reporters last week, senior Scott staffers detailed their theory of the case for why their candidate can win, promoting him as uniquely qualified for the job and as a messenger who can win over independents and Democrats while not straying from conservative policy positions. Scott's fundraising ability will also give him an edge, these officials said.
