ainsley: we begin this hour with big news in the race for the white house. last night, right here on the fox news channel, south carolina senator tim scott announcing he is suspending his presidential campaign. brian: all right. the now former republican presidential cap democrat says he won t endorse another candidate at this time. steve: peter doocy joins us right now as details as president biden ramps up his campaigning as he hits the road tomorrow, peter? and, senator tim scott will not be moving here in january of 2025. he will not be the trump alternative to republican primary goers and caucus goers. he says that voters have been telling him not now, tim. i go back to iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. i am suspending my campaign. steve: who benefits from that? reuters reports in the moments after scott dropped out, two major donors to his campaign told reuters they would switch their support to haley, who like scott, hail hails from the st
They handled the trump indictment s question. nikki haley dared to take out 2 or republican audience donald trump is the most unpopular politician in america which if you look at the polls, that s close to true. pretty savvy. the alternative to that is chris christie, not only his is behavior on presidential, many in the audience agree with that, he condemns these indictments are valid, that crosses a redline for a lot of primary goers. it s time for new generational leader, a desire for voters for younger person but also talking electability. they want to win the next election. they want to see president

i think his appeal is tapping into one specific faction of republican primary goers. he s made, built his candidacy on saying very outlandish statements he knows plays well with the faction of the base. he certainly gained a lot, for example, off his comments saying he shouldn t be president. he was able to raise money off those comments. that s what saw him rise further in the polls in iowa. he recognizes what his brand is. i think he has a ceiling and he has a limited space. ben carson could carry iowa. that hasn t predicted though who the eventual nominee will be. an outsider like ben carson would kin iowa. it will have little bearing on who the eventual republican nominee will be. well said. democratic caucuses seem to matter more than republicans. jimmy carter came from out there, obama. let s look at 1992 called the oprah winfrey town meeting. there he is.
