.votetimscott signaled Sunday that he would formally announce his 2024 presidential bid on May 22, following months of speculation prompted by early primary state travels and a recently launched exploratory committee.
Scott teased a"major announcement" he planned to make at an upcoming campaign event in North Charleston, South Carolina, where the 57-year-old senator grew up, while speaking to a crowd of about 150 people in nearby Charleston on Sunday. The senator has been traveling across Iowa, New Hampshire, and his native South Carolina since February as he mulled a run, and was vocal about the positive response he was getting.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to declare his candidacy but is expected to launch an exploratory committee in the coming months. Despite being beset by plummeting poll numbers since Trump's Manhattan indictment in late March, DeSantis has maintained his status as the former president's top competitor.
