South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has raised nearly $20 million over the course of the year. | Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesSouth Carolina Sen. Tim Scott took in nearly $8.3 million during the third fundraising quarter, a major sum that highlights the massive finance network Scott is building ahead of a prospective 2024 presidential bid.over the past year, winning over small- and large-dollar GOP donors alike.
Scott's totals are sure to put him among the top fundraisers in either party over the last three months. As of Wednesday afternoon, the only candidate to release a higher third-quarter figure was Rep. Val Demings, the Democratic Senate candidate in Florida who announced raising $8.4 million. Full fundraising reports are set to be filed with the Federal Election Commission by Oct. 15.
During the second fundraising quarter, Scott reported raising $9.6 million — more than doubling the total of the next-highest Republican incumbent up for reelection in 2022, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Scott, who is the only Black Republican in the Senate, had not previously been known as a major fundraiser. But over the past year Scott has waged a concerted effort to build his small-dollar fundraising operation, paying for a barrage of Facebook ads aimed at drawing in donors.
He has also begun to win over some of the party’s biggest donors, including tech titan Larry Ellison. The Oracle co-founder has contributed $10 million to the Opportunity Matters Fund, a super PAC aligned with the senator. The outfit has also received contributions from other big GOP donors, including hedge fund manager Dan Loeb, investor Bill Oberndorf and Las Vegas billionaire Steve Wynn.
Tim Scott , hate being black. South Carolina is the worst place in America for people of color. I said Tim Scott would not do the right thing when it came down too police reform. I hate Tim Scott. Now the war with cops and people of color continues. Protect your family. I’m ready
Who Cares. Maybe he’ll gives some to the Poor.
I like how you equate his ability to fund raise to a possible 2024 bid, It’s all about the money. Politico already positioning for some advertising dollars.
Possible 2024 bid? Who are you kidding?
I’m behind him big time!!
Quick, name a single thing Tim Scott has done, since the Republicans let him out of the house
not bad for an uncle tom
The only reason they become politician is to accumulate wealth. They are grifters rappers criminals and thieves
Have never figured this guy out, doesn’t make sense.
Uncle T is raising a lot of cash!
That is a lot of money this quarter.
I wonder why? ask the GOP - showing off their one and only smart one around!
Sad.
That's why everything is blocked in Congress,cuz they have more lobbyist in Washington than lawmakers
For lying about Democrats wanting to defund the police

SenatorTimScott is just another shining example of politicians buying their way into office.
Many times money makes no difference in an election.., especially when you see where this Republican’s heart is? Definitely not with his constituents and his own people!You may have no money to campaign and yet win big especially if you have a humble heart ❤️this man has neither!
Uncle Tim Scott have u been told how to spend Master Sam monies?
Ha ha ha. He thinks he has a chance at president? What a pipe dream. The GOP base won’t accept him regardless of how many times he sold his soul and supported Trumps actions.
