Firing Line with Margaret Hoover

Sen. Tim Scott on race, politics, and uniting the GOP in 2024


Listen Later

Sen. Tim Scott, R-SC, sits down with Margaret Hoover in Washington, D.C. to discuss his personal story of overcoming poverty to take his historic seat in Congress.

The only Black Republican in the U.S. Senate and a rising star in the GOP, Scott assesses the impact of opportunity zones, which provide tax incentives for investment in economically distressed areas. "What I do not want," he says, "is for people to come into a community, make a profit off the community, and run away with their money."

Scott calls for bipartisan support for school choice including charter schools explaining, “the power of education is the power of your future.”

Although bipartisan talks for police reform fell apart, Scott remains hopeful Republicans and Democrats can find common ground on the “four or five areas” where they agree.

The senator weighs in on the possibility of a Trump 2024 ticket and forecasts a "united Republican Party" heading into the next presidential election cycle.
