Tim Scott Slams ‘Biden Wing’ of the GOP as Hamas Terror Brings Party’s Foreign-Policy Divisions to the Fore

Senator Tim Scott (R., S.C.) took aim at fellow 2024 contenders Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy as the “Joe Biden wing of the Republican Party” during a speech on Tuesday about the need to stand with Israel and wipe Hamas terrorists off the face of the Earth.

The comments highlight the intraparty divide over how involved the U.S. should be in foreign affairs. While the war in Ukraine has emerged as a sticking point between the candidates, the contenders largely came out strongly in support of Israel.
