US Senator Tim Scott will get his strongest opportunity yet to woo intrigued voters and donors when he takes the stage at the Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Scott, who has already piqued the interest of key Wall Street benefactors, aims to catapult himself into the top tier of the crowded GOP 2024 field, currently led by former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whose campaign is writhing from missteps.
“One of the big opportunities for him and one place where I think people’s opinions could turn and people could start taking a real serious look at him are the debates. Tim Scott’s really good as a debater,” said Liz Mair, a Republican strategist, who pointed to a past town-hall debate Scott did on tax reform, hosted by CNN.
In a June 7 Bloomberg Invest panel, Druckenmiller explained his affinity for Scott, saying he’s probably best placed to unite the GOP. Scott’s put the largesse to use in the form of ads in early voting states. Last week, Scott’s campaign placed an $8 million ad buy, including $6.6 million for a television blitz in Iowa and New Hampshire through November.
On the trail, Scott delivers a faith-based Horatio Alger story, the son of a single mother in North Charleston, South Carolina, who found his footing due to mentoring. Churches are a frequent campaign stop as he courts Evangelicals, a Republican bedrock. On a sweltering Tuesday at the Iowa State Fair, the former college football player played catch with fairgoers, won carnival games and shook hands. Wearing a white baseball cap, Scott donned a red apron to grill pork chops.
