Panel: Tim Scott grows campaign as ‘the perfect Republican’ while DeSantis falters



Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) presidential campaign is gaining traction as Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R-Fla.) campaign loses momentum and faces financial hits. Jim Dornan, Tia Mitchell, Mark Murray and Faiz Shakir join the Meet the Press NOW roundtable. “When you’re actually launching your own bio spots and not being attacked, and the other pieces of news are another potential indictment for Donald Trump, or Ron DeSantis’ campaign is lagging … that creates an opening to be the chief alternative to the chief alternative,” Murray said.

  1. ANY GOP candidate still furthers the extreme right wing agenda! VOTE BLUE.

  2. I want to feel hate filled and negative about everything. I want to be a democrat!

  3. Tim Scott wasn't brought up by a single mother. She was always working. He was brought up by whoever his mother was lucky enough to have babysit him while she was working.

  4. Scott is no better than the rest of them! Vote Blue 💙 except for Kennedy….

  5. Excellent host and panel FOR A CHANGE.

  6. I love meet the press but dont give voice to Harris just spewing complete falsehoods.

  7. Christie at 2%, he's going way too hard but it ain't working.

  8. DeSantis apparently thinks slavery was just an agricultural internship program. We now know that the opposite of “woke” is comatose. His new campaign slogan should be: “DeSantis for Grand Dragon”, and he should grow a little tiny mustache.

  9. 🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎Trump leads everyone by double digits…And his pools just keep rising the more you go after him.🤣🤣🤣

  10. 'He's the perfect republican nobody knows he's an extremist because nobody follows him we can sneak him right in surely!' A little late for that when republican has become synonymous with racist, incel, extremist, bigot, fascist and wastrel. We can heap a lot more on that pile but we all get it. Give up already. You've killed your party.

  11. Lol 😂 can you imagine. What the demoncrates will do. The same they are doing to uncle Tom clanence Thomas be the same bs toward Tim Scott. The reason they let Obama slide he was a demoncrat. These guys are republican. Demon-crates are very racist people. Specially toward those that don't lick there feet

  12. Can’t imagine MAGA is voting for Tim Scott over Karen Trump! It’s against their fundamental color spectrum and intellectual! No one attack him yet bc he is black-if he up on the poll-they will!

  13. The panel also forgets how racist the republican party is. It will never elect a black man or colored woman to be their nominee. They will stick with Trump immaterial that he has the character of a vulgarian and unfit to be president.

  14. Don't understand how you think a man of colour can lead the white supremacist party.

  15. MAGA will never put another black man in power … I'm Puerto … in case people try to say I'm racist… no I'm not… just look at Maga the Bigotry and their Racist remarks, especially down in Florida … Tim Scott is in for a rude awaking… trust and believe that

  16. Republicans going to lose again

  17. Tim Scott is a sell-out and I'm not voting for The Man. Never vote for a man who hates his own skin. The ancestors are not with Tim Scott. We needed one thing, one thing from Tim Scott and he didn't deliver. How many unarmed people died due to his failure? I am a no.

  18. I want the names of the so call scholars.

  19. waste of time and resources. the repub nom goes to trump
    or no one. trump will never allow his 30-40% of the party
    to support anyone but him. he would have them stay home-
    and they will do his bidding. all other scenarios are pure hogwash!

  20. Conservatives won't elect a black man for president. It'll never be a reason they would ever elect a black president.

  21. I can not understand why the analysis of tim scott's campaign is not on the new far right policies he pushes, but 'oh what a nice guy he is'. He defends trump at every turn as victim of 'weaponized DOJ' (they're all using that word), and he picked up desantis's 'war on woke' rhetoric. But no, scott, they muse 'oh he's such a likable chap'. Maga world wants a mean, snarling pitbull AND who is also entertaining and nobody does that better than trump. Desantis is stuck on mean. And miss scott's personal profile is weird to say the least and nobody touches it now. But the scrutiny will intensify on scott..

  22. In my opinion, the 'bleeding' is because Biden wants everyone to hold hands and get along. It maybe a strategy, but the gop has nothing to do with it. Turn VP Harris loose, let her do what she does best, hold people accountable.

  23. Tim Scott shows he doesnt care about people.. only about corporations and the upper 1%.. so why should anyone vote for someone that doesn't like me..>????
