South Carolina Senator Tim Scott Looks Like He Wants to Run for President

South Carolina GOP senator Tim Scott sure looks and sounds like a man who is interested in running for president.

Back when Scott won his Senate reelection bid last November, he said in his victory speech: “The day I drove my grandfather to vote for me for the first time, there was also another race on the ballot. My grandfather voted for the first man of color to be re-elected as president of the United States. I wish he had lived long enough to see perhaps another man of color elected president of the United States . . . this time, let it be a Republican.”
