Tim Scott has withdrawn his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The 58-year-old made the announcement on Fox News on Sunday evening (local time).
The senator from South Carolina — his party’s only black representative in the state chamber — announced his candidacy in May. However, his chances of success were underestimated from the start. According to polls, former US President Donald Trump is leading party supporters.
A wide field of Republican candidates
The presidential election is scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024. Unlike the Democratic Party, the Republican Party has a wide range of candidates. Anyone who actually wants to become the party’s official candidate must first win the party’s internal primaries. US President Joe Biden is running for re-election among Democrats. Since he is in office, he is unlikely to face tough competition within the party during the election campaign.
