He wants “four more years.” The black American Senator Tim Scott, who was briefly a candidate in the Republican primaries, supported the ultra-favorite Donald Trump against his rival Nikki Haley.
The influential senator from South Carolina, the state where Nikki Haley was governor, reiterated his support during a campaign event for the former president on Friday evening in New Hampshire, a small northeastern state that will vote in Tuesday's Republican primary.
Potential Vice President?
Tim Scott, a conservative Christian who dreamed of becoming the first black Republican president in U.S. history, withdrew from the race last November without ever getting his campaign off the ground.
Nikki Haley, with her back to the wall and the ultra-favorite former president, has established herself this week as a bulwark against the “chaos” that she believes would mean a new Donald Trump presidency like Joe Biden.
The only woman on the right running for the White House, Nikki Haley, former UN ambassador under President Trump, will have to do very well in New Hampshire on Tuesday if they shake up the former president after his triumph during the campaign wants Jan. 15 primary in Iowa. The South Carolina Republican primary will take place on February 24th.
Tim Scott is one of half a dozen favorites for Donald Trump to choose as his vice presidential running mate. There are believers, like New York elected official Elise Stefanik, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, or entrepreneur and former candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. But Donald Trump could choose to open up to the moderate wing of the party, with Tim Scott or even Nikki Haley.
