Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina announced Sunday night that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential campaign.
“When I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign,” Scott said in an appearance on former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy’s Fox News program.
“I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they’re telling me: not now,” Scott continued.
The announcement was a surprise: Scott’s campaign sent a fundraising email not long before he announced he was leaving the race. His decision comes days after the third Republican presidential debate in Miami, after which the South Carolina senator canceled a scheduled weekend campaign swing in Iowa, citing the flu.
Scott indicated in the interview with Gowdy that he wasn’t looking to endorse one of his former rivals at this time.
“I’m going to recommend that the voters study each candidate and their candidacies and frankly, their past and make a decision for the future of the country,” Scott said. “The best way for me to be helpful is to not weigh in on who they should endorse.”
