South Carolina, US - U.S. Senator Tim Scott suspended his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, citing financial challenges and a lack of significant progress in national polls. In an interview with Fox News, Scott stated, "I think the voters have been really clear that they're telling me: 'Not now Tim.'" As the only African American Republican in the Senate, he entered the race in May with promises of an optimistic vision for America, positioning himself as a conservative candidate capable of uniting the country.

Despite initial support from major donors, Scott struggled to distinguish himself in a crowded field and failed to articulate a compelling case for Trump supporters to move on from the former president. His polls declined, and he faced financial difficulties. A shift to more confrontational rhetoric did not improve his standing, and he eventually polled at sixth place with only 2.5 percent support.

Scott officially announced his campaign after months of visiting crucial states for early momentum but faced challenges in debates, including the absence of frontrunner Donald Trump. Following his withdrawal, Scott expressed disinterest in becoming a running mate and refrained from endorsing any remaining candidates, urging voters to carefully assess each candidate for the future of the country.
