Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina will pick up a major endorsement Monday as he kicks off his 2024 presidential campaign in North Charleston.
The No. 2 Senate Republican, John Thune of South Dakota, plans to back Mr. Scott in the GOP primary race and will offer the opening prayer at the kickoff event, according to CNN.
Mr. Thune previously told the outlet that Mr. Scott is “really well thought of and respected” and would be a “really interesting candidate.”
Mr. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, had teased his May 22 announcement for weeks and filed paperwork for his candidacy days ago.
