Republican Senator Tim Scott has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. The announcement was made on Fox News Channel's 'Sunday Night in America', surprising both his campaign staff and donors. Despite significant campaign spending and high hopes at the start of his campaign, Scott struggled to gain traction in the polls. His campaign staff expressed frustration at the sudden decision, especially as resources had recently been shifted to boost his standing in Iowa. Scott's campaign was based on restoring 'Christian conservative values' and he promised an optimistic, forward-looking vision for America.

Scott is the second major Republican figure to drop out of the 2024 primary race, following Mike Pence's decision to suspend his campaign in October. His departure leaves Nikki Haley as the sole South Carolinian in the race. Two major donors to Scott's campaign have already switched their support to Haley. Many donors praised Scott for stepping aside to give Republicans a chance to coalesce behind a Trump alternative. A recent Iowa poll showed Scott with just 7% support, significantly behind Trump.

Scott's team was so surprised by his exit that just 13 minutes before his announcement, his campaign sent out an email soliciting supporters for donations. His decision comes five days after the third Republican primary debate in Miami, where he failed to stand out. Despite these challenges, Scott remains a significant figure within the Republican Party and his future actions will be closely watched.
