Scott’s national finance co-chair told donors that South Carolina is “where we make the difference.”
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott's campaign feels “good about the position” they're in. | Francis Chung/POLITICOWith Tim Scott struggling to break through in Iowa and New Hampshire, a top campaign adviser is privately lobbying donors to stick with him until the primary reaches his home state of South Carolina.
Scott also addressed donors on the call, two days after a second debate performance that was widely regarded as an improvement over his first, when the South Carolina senator initially struggled to find speaking time. But public polling has continued to show Scott lagging behind a handful of other GOP rivals in a longshot bid to overtake Trump, including in the early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
And the campaign is not abandoning Iowa or New Hampshire. “If you see stuff about national polls, ignore them,” Haslam said. “We’re focused on Iowa and New Hampshire, getting our numbers up there, and that’s working. It’s not a national campaign at this point.”But at least some advisers are now placing a special emphasis on Scott’s performance in South Carolina.
At another point on the call, Scott supporter Tom Carter, former U.S. ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization under Trump, suggested the debates — which the campaigns of lower polling candidates have long argued would help boost their principals — were useless and would merely be clipped to “make more commercials for Jaime Harrison and the DNC.”
