Tim Scott Is Running for President, and He’s Unmarried. What’s the Issue?
A spouse brings advantages to the campaign trail, as a built-in surrogate and cheerleader. But interviews with voters show they have bigger concerns than a candidate’s love life.


During a private meeting with evangelical faith leaders in Iowa this summer, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina was asked about an issue he would prefer not to discuss: his love life.

Mr. Scott, 57, has put his faith and commitment to conservative family values at the center of his campaign for president, which at that point was in its earliest weeks. None of the pastors in attendance questioned his faith. But at least one was curious about his lack of a wife and children.

“You’re unmarried, and you want to lead the country. But we can’t even see how you’ve led a family. Help me out with that,” Michael Demastus, a pastor in Iowa who has met with the senator multiple times, recalled asking during the meeting. He meant the question, he added, “not in a condemning way — just genuinely want to know a little bit more.”

Mr. Scott told the group that he was in a relationship with a woman whom he was serious about but not yet ready to introduce to the public, according to two accounts of the meeting.

A longtime bachelor, Mr. Scott is hardly a rarity in America, where more people than ever report being single. But a presidential candidate’s marital status is nearly impossible to avoid on the campaign trail. Some of Mr. Scott’s rivals, like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Vivek Ramaswamy, have given their spouses and young children starring roles as they work to win over those evangelical voters for whom traditional family values are top of mind. The frequent domestic scenes offer a stark contrast with the race’s front-runner, former President Donald J. Trump, who is twice-divorced and facing four criminal indictments, one involving hush-money payments to a porn star. His wife, Melania Trump, has been largely absent.

[Demovictory9]

4. He says he has a girlfriend...no one has seen her yet

6. "...in a relationship with a woman whom he was serious about but not yet ready

to introduce to the public..." means the casting process is still ongoing.

8. He also preaches no sex before marriage which would make him a 57 yr old virgin but then he dances

Around that too. Poor guy..hard to up hold repub family values

3. This guy has not finished one term as Senator?

And he thinks he is ready for the big seat? He is pushing himself on us. IMO.

13. Vivek has done nothing but get rich with shady business and he is running

[pwb]

14. Exactly

We are getting people from the bench who think they are starters.

7. If he was in a relationship with a woman the public would already know the name.

If he attends a church it would be known.

If he eats out at restaurants it would be known.

9. Please switch parties Tim. We don't care who you 💕

[LiberalFighter]

12. If he had the right Democratic values. Sure.

But he doesn't. Anti labor to start.

10. I suspect like Lindsey, he may be a bit gay. In the GOP that's a death sentence.

11. Current GOP is rabidly ant lgbt

15. DO NOT CARE

The fact we are wasting precious time on the fact this dude has no wife is a farce. I don't care if he's single, gay, lbgt, a monk or a horndog. Just don't care.

How he "leads a family"? This is what we are doing? Goodness.

16. "We" aren't doing anything

It’s republicans and evangelicals who have asked the questions.

I’d also like to know if he’s a virgin, since he preaches abstinence before marriage 😝
