Tim Scott knocks GOP primary rivals’ 'message around populism'
United States Senator and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott of South Carolina took a swipe at the personal grievance politics and petty bickering between primary rivals Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump during an appearance on Monday's edition of The View.
"Well, I'll just say that as a guy on the campaign trail in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina, the early voting states, what I found to be really refreshing is that the optimistic positive message has not been shared in so long," Scott said.
"We've been embroidered in battles for so long that when people hear the message, as long as it's anchored in conservatism and you have a backbone, people are interested in engaging in the conversation as opposed to having a, a message around populism."
