Sen. Tim Scott is the only member of Congress running for president in the 2024 election -- here's how that's affecting both his term as senator and his campaign.
Senator Tim Scott speaks during the second Republican presidential primary debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., on Sept. 27, 2023.for 45 more days by a vote of 88-9. Only two senators were not present: Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who posted on X that she was sick with COVID, and South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott, who was the keynote speaker at the California GOP Convention Friday.
Although none of the votes he has missed have had an influence on the final result, the public is losing insight on how Scott would approach key issues as president.In 2015, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., should be "showing up to work," but Rubio wasn't the only candidate that election cycle susceptible to attacks for missing senate votes: Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Ted Cruz, R-Tx.
Scott, who is planning a stop in Dallas, Texas, Tuesday, just spent the week in California following the second Republican presidential debate raising money in San Francisco at a fundraiser where tickets were up to $8,300 per person. Fundraising could help to bolster his campaign, which has hovered in the single digits since he joined the race back in May, according to FiveThirtyEight's polling average.
