COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is taking the next official step toward a bid for president in 2024. The Republican announced he’s forming an exploratory committee. Scott highlighted his biography as a Black man who overcame poverty to argue that Democrats are too liberal and have needlessly divided the country by fostering a “culture of grievance.” If he formally enters the field, Scott will join another South Carolinian, former Gov. Nikki Haley, as well as former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and “anti-woke” biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Others, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence, are considering entering the race.
