Tim Scott secures spot in third GOP debate following campaign strategy overhaul
CBSN
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has secured his spot in the third GOP presidential debate in Miami next week, announcing that he has met the final requirement — gathering enough individual donations needed to qualify for the event, his campaign announced.
"We're excited about the response our campaign has received from conservatives across the country looking for a positive, optimistic message," Scott said in a statement shared by the campaign on Tuesday. "Republicans are ready to elect faith-filled leadership to take on the biggest challenges facing our nation today."
Having already reached the 4% polling threshold required for the debate stage, Scott revealed during an interview on Mark Levin's radio show last Thursday that he needed a few thousand more donations to solidify his position. On Tuesday, Scott's campaign said that he had successfully secured those donations over the weekend.
