Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the U.S. Senate, officially launched his presidential campaign Monday.
Scott presents himself as a Ronald Reagan-style conservative, unifying and bearer of hope. "We need a president who persuades not only our supporters and our base, but also people who disagree," he says. The Republican senator from South Carolina does not benefit from the immense notoriety of Donald Trump, nor the media interest aroused by his main rival, Ron DeSantis. This black elected representative of a southern state presents a profile and a speech radically different from the two favorites.
