Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) broke onto the national scene when he delivered the GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden‘s first address to a joint session of Congress in 2021.

Though temperamentally different from former President Donald Trump, Scott has positioned himself as a staunch defender of the former president and someone who could help deliver the ever-more important black vote if he joins the ticket.

Tim Scott was born on Sept. 19, 1965. He is 58 years old.

Scott was born and raised in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Scott graduated from R.B. Stall High School in North Charleston, South Carolina, in 1983. He attended Presbyterian College on a partial sports scholarship and graduated from Charleston Southern University with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1988.

Scott has represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate since 2013.

Scott identifies as a Christian.

Forbes estimated Scott to be worth just over a million in 2023.

Scott was raised by a single mother who he said worked 16-hour days to support him and his brother.

He is engaged to Mindy Noce, an interior designer and mother of three. Their wedding is set for early August. The senator has no children of his own.

Scott worked as an insurance agent after graduating from college. He represented South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011-2013 and previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives and as a member of the Charleston City Council.

Scott is the author of three books:

Scott has said while campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination that he supports a 15-week national abortion ban and supports sending military aid to Ukraine, but he said in November that people needed “accountability” on how the aid was being spent.

He supports many of Trump’s immigration policies and said during his presidential campaign in August that he would finish the border wall if elected president.

Scott endorsed Trump for president in January, saying that America needed “a president who will unite our country.”

He has been critical of some of Trump’s comments against a federal abortion ban and comments criticizing Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Scott ran for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 election. He dropped out of the race in November 2023.
