Sen. Tim Scott signaled an openness to being Trump's 2024 running mate

Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday expressed a willingness to become former President Donald Trump's running mate if the former president pursues a 2024 White House bid.

During an interview on the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures," the South Carolina Republican signaled to host Maria Bartiromo that he was open to being a part of Trump's "bandwagon," noting that the former president remains by far the most influential member of the GOP.

"I think everybody wants to be on President Trump's bandwagon, without any question," he said. "One of the things I've said to the president is he gets to decide the future of our party and our country because he is still the loudest voice."

He continued: "What I hope happens is that we rally around the principles that lead to our greatest success."

Do they see him as an “Uncle Tom” type sellout or not?

Scott on the Republican ticket could lose us some black votes.

At least ten votes nationwide, maybe as many fifteen.
