The move marks a big step toward officially entering 2024 White House race.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) plans to launch a presidential exploratory committee on Wednesday, according to two people familiar with his plans, marking a big step toward officially entering 2024 White House race.
Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, has spent recent months laying the groundwork for a national campaign via early state travel and donor events. The exploratory committee will allow Scott’s team to ramp up fundraising and fund travel before he officially declares a bid.
The people describing Scott’s plans spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a decision that had not yet been announced publicly.
