Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina turned the traditionally thankless task of responding to a presidential speech into a political opportunity, delivering a rebuttal to President Joe Biden's remarks that has Republicans talking in the First-in-the-nation primary state.
“I thought that he did a phenomenal job. He's got a great story,” New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Stephen Stepanek told InsideSources. “I think at this point [Scott] would be considered one of the top tier candidates. There's a lot of really good people who are looking at it and quite frankly I think any of them would be significantly better than what we have right now.”
