Senator Tim Scott has announced that former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam will serve as national co-chair for his upcoming presidential campaign. Haslam, who also served as mayor of Knoxville, is expected to play a key role in Scott's bid for the presidency.
Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, has been considered a rising star in the party for some time. He is known for his conservative views on issues such as gun rights and national security, as well as his willingness to work with Democrats on issues such as criminal justice reform.
For many Republican politicians, the quickest path to power and money is to court controversy on TV. Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others have done just that, using their platform to promote themselves and their agendas. However, Scott has taken a different approach, focusing on building relationships and working behind the scenes to get things done.
One example of this was his work on the Opportunity Zones program, which was included in the 2017 tax reform bill. The program provides tax incentives for investments in low-income areas, with the goal of spurring economic development and job creation.
Scott's focus on economic issues has earned him praise from some quarters, but he has also faced criticism from those who argue that he has not done enough to address issues such as police reform and systemic racism.
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. (WCIV) — Senator Tim Scott is scheduled to speak at Palmetto Christian Academy Monday morning. He is expected to speak to students about the importance of education and community involvement.
The event is part of Scott's ongoing efforts to engage with young people and promote the importance of education and opportunity. He has also been a vocal advocate for school choice, arguing that parents should have the ability to choose the best educational options for their children.
In addition to his work on economic issues and education, Scott has also been a strong proponent of gun rights and national security. He has been a vocal supporter of the Second Amendment and has argued that Americans have the right to defend themselves against threats both foreign and domestic.
His views on these issues have put him at odds with some Democrats, who argue that his positions are too conservative and that he has not done enough to address issues such as gun violence and domestic terrorism.
Gov. Bill Haslam speaks at an event at the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville on Aug. 28, 2018. (Erik Schelzig, Tennessee Journal).
Haslam, who served as governor of Tennessee from 2011 to 2019, is expected to be a key player in Scott's presidential campaign. He is known for his fiscal conservatism and his efforts to promote economic growth in Tennessee.
During his time as governor, Haslam implemented a number of policies aimed at attracting businesses to the state and creating jobs for Tennesseans. He also worked to streamline government operations and reduce wasteful spending.
Haslam's experience in government and his reputation as a moderate Republican could help to appeal to a broad base of voters, including those who are disillusioned with the current state of politics.

Metals magnate and Republican donor Andy Sabin said he has soured on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his stance on abortion and Ukraine, and is now backing a potential presidential bid by Sen. Tim Scott.
Sabin's endorsement of Scott is just the latest sign of the senator's growing support among Republicans. Scott has been traveling the country in recent months, meeting with voters and building support for his presidential campaign.
