Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is single and dating. The senator recently revealed his relationship status during an interview with The State newspaper. Scott was asked if he had a girlfriend, and he responded: “Yes, I am. I’m dating a lovely Christian girl.” Scott added that he is “not in a mad rush” to tie the knot, but that he’s “taking it one day at a time.”
Whether the senator will walk down the aisle in the future remains to be seen, but it’s worth noting that his relationship status could be an interesting dynamic in the upcoming 2024 election. Scott, the only African-American senator, has been mentioned as a possible presidential contender. His relationship status could potentially give him an advantage among GOP primary voters. For example, some evangelicals have expressed skepticism about the non-traditional relationships of many past presidents, and being in a traditional monogamous relationship could potentially ring positive bells with those voting blocs.
