Tim Scott 2024

Alan Keyes was my choice in the 2000 Republican Primary. Unfortunately, there were too few conservative blacks and those who usually vote Democrat will never vote for a Republican.

Yeah, I was a Keyes supporter too. Even went to a fancy fundraiser for him and payed way too much for a plate of food to hear him speak.
 
Assuming DeSantis announces before May 22, not sure how Scott will have any chance.

Maybe a shared DeSantis / Scott announcement....that would be interesting to announce the full ticket this early.

The black Democrats will reject him because he's a conservative. What's worse is white Democrats will say things like he has abandoned his people and other racist things.

That's sad because he's a great guy and a probably one of the more conservative members of congress. I think he'd be a good prez or VP.

I don't think it will. The electoral college comes into play when a vice-presidential running mate is selected. Usually a vice-presidential running mate is from one of the 11 states with the most electoral votes in the chart below. If the Republican candidate is from Florida, which state would you think the GOP will want it's vice-presidential running mate to be from? Keep in mind there have only been three presidential candidates who have won the election without taking Ohio.
California​
55​
Texas​
38​
Florida​
29​
New York​
29​
Illinois​
20​
Pennsylvania​
20​
Ohio​
18​
Georgia​
16​
Michigan​
16​
North Carolina​

True, but Scott has national appeal, and his being a black man could work in his favor. The GOP is incorrectly portrayed as being racist at times, and Scott could help to counter that.

If not for Trump and possibly DeSantis being in the race, Scott would likely be a front runner. I suspect he'll easily pull 3rd or 4th in the primaries.

He's polling at 2% and he doesn't have the name recognition nationally.

Once the media starts in on him, he will be Caucasian. And a racist.
