Senator Tim Scott shockingly dropped out of the 2024 presidential race just a few days after introducing his girlfriend in a strange announcement that even blindsided his campaign STAFF.
Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, who urged Scott to get a woman by his side earlier in the race, tells former presidential candidate Tim Scott, many find it strange that you would drop out of the race right after you introduced your girlfriend, when the truth is you would no doubt be in second place behind Trump if you had introduced your girlfriend at the beginning of the campaign. Whyte says if you want to suspend your presidential campaign, that is fine, but make sure you do not suspend your new-found relationship with your girlfriend. Whyte tells Scott, go ahead and marry this beautiful young lady. Son, you need some sex after all these years. Whyte warns Tim Scott, who is at the age of 58, it will look weird and political if you do not have this beautiful young lady by your side going forward. In fact, to some people, it is going to look so-called “gay” because people will say you got so emotionally upset about people pressuring you to get a woman by your side, and that thought was so repulsive to you, you dropped out of the race without even informing your staff.
- Scott announced Sunday his campaign suspension during a Fox News interview
- It comes days after he attended the third GOP primary debate with his girlfriend
- The 58-year-old lone black Republican senator launched his bid in May
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott announced he’s dropping out of the 2024 presidential primary race.
The 58-year-old statesman abruptly revealed during a Sunday evening interview that he is suspending his campaign for the White House – apparently without telling campaign staffers.
It comes just four days after he showed up to the third GOP primary debate with his girlfriend Mindy Noce, 47, ending months of speculation about his love life.
Scott posed for photos with the mother-of-three behind his debate lectern and briefly held her hand in a touching moment after a tense night in the GOP primary.
His departure leaves Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie to battle it out against the current frontrunner – former president Donald Trump.
‘I love America more today than I did on May 22,’ Scott said in an interview on Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy, referring to the start date of his campaign.
‘But when I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign. I think the voters who are the most remarkable people on the planet have been really clear that they’re telling me, ‘Not now, Tim’.’
‘And so I’m going to respect the voters, and I’m going to hold on and keep working really hard and look forward to another opportunity.’
Scott was in familiar company for his shock announcement considering Gowdy is a former U.S. congressman representing South Carolina’s fourth congressional district.
The news was so abrupt that a campaign staffer confirmed to DailyMail.com that they team found out Scott was dropping out by watching the show.
Additionally, a handful of his campaign aides confirmed to Fox News that they were not given a heads-up that they would soon be out of a job ahead of Scott’s live appearance Sunday night.
The South Carolina senator held an all-staff call following his interview.
Scott said after announcing suspension of his campaign that he wouldn’t be making an endorsement for any of his Republican rivals.
‘The voters are really smart,’ Scott said. The best way for me to be helpful is to not weigh-in on who they should endorse.’
He also indicated disinterest in a running mate slot as some speculate the rest of the GOP field is in a race for the vice presidency with Trump at the helm.
‘Being vice president has never been on my to-do list for this campaign, and it’s certainly not there now,’ Scott said.
