Tim Scott

Scott was a top supporter of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.

Scott, with all other Senate Republicans, voted last year against the Inflation Reduction Act, which included landmark climate initiatives.

Scott said in August that it’s “ridiculous” for President Biden to talk about a climate emergency in the face of the country’s “existential threat” at the southern border.

Scott has said he’d sign “the most conservative, pro-life legislation that they can get through Congress” if elected to the Oval Office.

As a senator, Scott worked to repeal the Obama-era Affordable Care Act in Congress.

Scott has said he wants to “fix the mess Biden has created” in the economy and that he would do “the exact opposite” of what Biden has done on the issue.

The senator has said he would make Trump-era tax cuts permanent and that he’d “turn the spigot off and stop printing and spending money.”

As ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, Scott has argued the U.S. needs to “curb China’s economic aggression” with strategic moves like sanctions, export controls and investment screening.

Scott has sounded alarms about the threat of fentanyl coming into the U.S. at the southern border, and he has vowed to finish former President Trump’s border wall if elected in 2024.

The senator said that, if elected president, he will “rebuild a military so lethal and powerful that our adversaries will fear us and our allies will respect us.”

Asked whether he would send cluster bombs to Ukraine, Scott said his potential administration “would have the resources and a defense industrial complex that provides the weapons that we need and our Western allies need; we wouldn’t be in this position at all.”
