Sen. Tim Scott Launches 2022 Reelection Campaign
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) officially announced his 2022 reelection bid on Monday in North Charleston, South Carolina, saying he will keep fighting to hold the Biden administration accountable.
“I have never been more optimistic about the future of America and the limitless potential of the next generation,” said Scott in a statement via email. “And with the Palmetto State’s blessing, I look forward to holding the current administration accountable and continuing the fight in Washington.”
The 55-year-old senator also talked about the achievements the Republicans made during the past four years, such as record-low unemployment rates, peace in the Middle East, historic and permanent funding for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), bringing millions of Americans out of poverty, and a “skyrocketing economy.”

Tim Scott, R-S.C., arrives as senators go to the chamber for votes ahead of the approaching Memorial Day recess, at the Capitol in Washington. Congressional bargainers are likely to blow past their latest deadline without completing a bipartisan deal for overhauling police practices, three people familiar with the talks said Thursday, June 24, 13 months after George Floyd’s killing and with the shadow of next year’s elections lengthening over Congress’ work. Despite a “June or bust” goal set by chief GOP negotiator Scott, the Senate was expected to leave town for a two-week recess after Thursday’s session without a final compromise, according to two Democratic aides who described the status of talks on condition of anonymity.
