Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina announces presidential exploratory committee
“In announcing his exploratory committee, Scott vowed that he’ll ‘defend the Judeo-Christian foundation our nation is built on, and protect our religious liberty.’ And he pledged to ‘stand up to Communist China, and restore opportunities for hardworking Americans to thrive and prosper’ and ‘fight to give every parent a choice in education so their children have a better chance in life.’ Scott also said he’ll defend the nation’s borders as well as ‘our neighborhood streets’ and emphasized he’ll ‘protect our most fundamental right -the right to life itself.'” – Fox News, April 12, 2023
