Republican senator from South Carolina, Tim Scott, announced his withdrawal from the U.S. presidential election race. Scott stated on Fox News, "I love America today more than I loved it on May 22, but when I go back to Iowa, I will not be a presidential candidate; I will suspend my campaign." He added, "I believe the voters, who are the most remarkable people on this planet, have been really clear in telling me: not now, Tim."
Former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and others are competing for the Republican nomination. Joe Biden announced in April that he intends to run for re-election as a Democrat. The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 2024.
