Presidential Candidate: Tim Scott

Tim Scott campaign website: Tim Scott for President (votetimscott.com)

By Ashley Bean Thornton

I have been summarizing the opening campaign speeches from the presidential candidates to see if I can sift out what they actually plan to do.  In this post I summarize Tim Scott’s announcement speech.   Love it or hate it — I have tried to stick pretty close to his own words and to be fair in summarizing what I assume to be his platform for 2024. I tried to include as much about how he plans to do these things as I was able to deduce from the speech. – ABT

What he says he has done…

• Created high employment, low inflation and the fastest growing economy for the working class people we’ve seen in 50 years
• Refunded the police

What he says he will do…

• Stop retreating from our Southern border. If you don’t control your back door. it’s not your house. If our Southern border is unsafe and insecure it’s not our country.
• Drug cartels using Chinese labs and Mexican factories to kill Americans will cease to exist. I will freeze their assets. I will build the wall, and I will allow the world’s greatest military to fight these terrorists because that’s exactly what they are.
