.SenatorTimScott won't shy away from criticisms of Democratic lawmakers, but often refrains from taking digs at his GOP colleagues. Scott has not declared his intent to run for president, but his national listening tour has fueled speculation.
During his nine-year tenure in the Senate, Scott has become known as someone who shies away from the spotlight. That was evident on Wednesday as he intimately addressed a couple dozen supporters on the third floor of Cowles Library at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, in lieu of a large campaign-style rally.Scott has set himself apart by refraining from public criticisms targeting his presumptive rivals, a tactic often used by those mulling a presidential bid.
Scott, while knocking Democrats' policies on abortion, immigration, and crime, accused them of stoking division. It’s a talking point geared toward the bloc of conservative voters who have grown tired of cheap political attacks. The comments came during Scott’s second stop on his national “Faith in America” listening tour, which launched last week in Charleston, South Carolina. Wednesday’s event in Des Moines is scheduled to be followed by a third stop later on Wednesday in West Des Moines, where he’ll speak at the annual Lincoln Dinner hosted by the Polk County Republican Party.
Scott has not declared his intent to run for president, but his national listening tour has fueled speculation that an announcement may be forthcoming. If he chooses to run, Scott would benefit from good national standing as the only black Republican in the Senate as well as a massive war chest that could give him a boost over other presidential contenders.
