Sen. Tim Scott Is Trying to Court Black Voters, Isn't It a Little Late for That?
Despite being Black, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)isn’t exactly a popular figure in Black America. And up until recently, he didn’t appear eager to appeal to Black voters either. The South Carolina Senator generally eschewed conversations around race in his Presidential run unless it was to tell everyone that racism isn’t an issue anymore or that welfare was worse than slavery — a message that generally lands much better with white audiences than Black ones.
