Sen. Tim Scott's (R-SC) presidential campaign launched two ads in two early nominating states on Friday morning that lambasted President Joe Biden's policies, just a couple of days after the first GOP debate in Milwaukee.

The two ads, titled "Tragic" and "Lead the Charge," slam Biden's handling of the fentanyl and southern border crises and ignore the front-runner in the Republican primary, former President Donald Trump, who surrendered to Georgia authorities on Thursday night. Scott has generally shied away from harshly attacking Trump, choosing to run as a happy warrior candidate.

In the 30-second "Lead the Charge" ad, which will air in Iowa, Scott said, "Joe Biden is out of step and out of ideas."

"He has law enforcement retreating from our border and our neighborhood streets. And America retreating from our deepest held values," Scott continued. "I'll be the president who ends the Biden retreat and leads the charge for American strength. I'll build the wall, fund our police, and defend our God-given freedoms."

During the 30-second "Tragic" ad, which airs in New Hampshire, Scott said, "Biden's liberal policies aren't compassionate. They're tragic."

"Teenagers overdosing on fentanyl. Young women being sold by human traffickers. Violent crime on the rise," Scott added. "As commander in chief, I will eliminate Biden's 87,000 IRS agents and use that money to finish the wall and double the Border Patrol."

Earlier this month, for the first time as a presidential candidate, Scott visited the southern border, where he stressed he would finish the wall the Biden administration halted, reduce drug and human smuggling, and restart Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allowed Border Patrol to halt illegal crossings at the southern border.

The South Carolina senator is one of a handful of second-tier Republicans running for president as Trump continues to dominate the primary race. Scott polls at 3.1%, according to a RealClearPolitics average of national polls, while Trump polls at 55.4%.

While the senator didn't commit any major gaffes during the debate on Wednesday night, he also did not have a clear breakout moment compared to other 2024 rivals.

Trump skipped the debate, opting to release a competing prerecorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The former president slammed several of his primary opponents but did not mention Scott.
