US Senator Tim Scott has withdrawn his bid for the 2024 presidential election after being far behind in polls.
US Senator Tim Scott, who was far behind in the polls, has withdrawn his application for the Republican Party’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. The 58-year-old announced this on Sunday evening (local time) on Fox News television.
The 57-year-old senator from the state of South Carolina – the only black representative of his party in the legislative chamber – announced his candidacy in May. However, his chances of success were assessed as low from the start.
Is there another calculation behind the candidacy and withdrawal? Tim Scott has been considered a possible vice president for Donald Trump in the past. Because as Trump’s black “running mate” he could endanger an important Democratic campaign issue. You can read more about the background here.
Trump is currently ahead among the Republicans
According to surveys, former US President Donald Trump is far ahead in favor of party supporters.
The presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024. Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans have a broad field 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 the Democrats. As the incumbent, he is unlikely to face any serious competition within the party in the election campaign.
