Tim Scott sitting on $21 million war chest as Republican presidential nomination race heats up
Fox News
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has over $21 million in his campaign coffers. Scott shared his fundraising figures first with Fox News.
TIM PAC – the super PAC supporting Scott's White House bid – in a separate announcement told Fox News that they hauled in $19.28 million in the second quarter and had over $15 million cash on hand at the end of June.
Scott's campaign highlighted that the vast majority of their fundraising came in the six weeks since the senator formally declared his candidacy on May 22. The only Black Republican in the Senate and a rising star in the GOP officially launched his presidential campaign at Charleston Southern University – his alma mater – in his hometown of North Charleston, South Carolina.
