The 2024 Republican primary field is growing.
Popular South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has officially declared himself a candidate for the GOP nomination for president.
Scott filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, ahead of an expected formal campaign launch on Monday.
Scott joins a growing primary field for the Republican presidential nomination against Trump, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, among the party's most high-profile contenders. (RELATED: Sen. Tim Scott Announces 2024 Presidential Exploratory Committee)

I am voting for President Trump. The others can waste the GOP’s funds any way they want but I already know who I’m voting for. A person who did his best to ensure the citizens of this country were put ahead of the citizens of other countries trying (and succeeding now) in invading our lands. A person who tried to make us energy independent instead of having to beg for oil from OPEC like the current fraud in the White House has done (after selling our oil reserves to China, of course). A person who encouraged other countries to sit down and debate their problems instead of the weak old fool we have now who is laughed at by every country on the globe. In other words, a real President.
