The 2024 presidential campaign of Tim Scott launched on May 22, 2023, when Tim Scott, a United States Senator from South Carolina, announced that he would seek election to the presidency in 2024. His entry into the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries followed his successful U.S. Senate reelection bid in 2022. On November 12, 2023, Scott suspended his campaign.[4]

Prior to launching his presidential campaign, Scott had been discussed in the mainstream media as a potential 2024 challenger to former president Donald Trump's bid for the nomination. On the day he began running for president, the New York Times reported that Scott brings "a positive, aspirational message" to the Republican field.[5]
