The senator has repeatedly brushed aside questions about a presidential bid and has said he is focused on his 2022 reelection campaign in South Carolina, where he is a heavy favorite. And even if Scott does wage a presidential campaign, he wouldn’t necessarily be a front-runner: Many Republicans say there’s far more enthusiasm for would-be candidates more closely associated with the conservative base, like Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The third-largest sum given to the super PAC has come from Ben Navarro, a Charleston, S.C.-based businessperson and philanthropist. With his wife Kelly, Navarro — who in a statement described Scott as a “long-time friend” — has given $500,000 to Opportunity Matters Fund. Those familiar with Scott’s operation describe Navarro, who in 2018 waged an unsuccessful effort to buy the NFL's Carolina Panthers, as an influential figure in the senator’s orbit.
