“With Ron DeSantis stalling in the Republican presidential primary, some wealthy donors who’d hoped he could beat Donald Trump are now giving Tim Scott a serious look,” Politico reports.
“Billionaire businessman Ronald Lauder, the Estée Lauder makeup heir who supported Trump in 2020, recently flew to South Carolina to meet with Scott, the state’s junior senator and longshot presidential candidate.”
Fox News says Scott is sitting on a $21 million war chest after raising $6.1 million last quarter.
Separately, the Scott-aligned Super PAC known as TIM PAC raised $19 million last quarter.
