Tim Scott is the leading Black Republican in the GOP primary: Here's how he talks about race
Fox News
Tim Scott is the leading Black candidate in the 2024 Republican primaries. Scott has been aggressively campaigning in the early voting state of Iowa.
When race comes up, he often says the United States is not fundamentally racist.
"We don't have Black poverty or white poverty. We have poverty," he told an all-white audience Thursday in Oskaloosa after being asked about race. He earlier had spoken about his poor Southern upbringing and his late grandfather, born into Jim Crow-era South Carolina.
"The brilliance of this nation is that we keep moving forward, even though there are lots of forces who want us to think the problem is that someone doesn't look like you," Scott said.
