Sen. Tim Scott's invitation to 20 students to the debate comes following weeks of highlighting an increase in antisemitism on the campaign trail.
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has extended invitations to more than 20 Jewish students across Florida to attend the third GOP presidential debate, his campaign said Wednesday.Following weeks of highlighting an increase in antisemitism on the campaign trail, Scott has invited students spanning from high school to college age, representing the University of South Carolina, University of Miami, and a local South Florida high school to attend the Miami debate and witness candidates on stage.
Scott is the first of the Republican candidates to orchestrate a strategic campaign move prior to the GOP debate, which, coincidingly, marks the inaugural occasion of a Jewish group cosponsoring a national debate. The event is a collaborative effort with the Republican Jewish Coalition.Since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and amid growing incidents of antisemitism in the U.S., the Republican campaigns have been pushing to show their support for Israel.
