Sen. Tim Scott will endorse Donald Trump at a rally in New Hampshire Friday night, tightening the former president’s grip on the 2024 Republican nomination.
After Monday’s landslide win in Iowa, the Trump campaign is intent on killing off his remaining opponents as quickly as possible and turning his attention to a general election match-up with President Joe Biden.
Now Trump has won the battle to secure the endorsement of Scott, who dropped out of the race in December.
The campaigns of Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis had both tried to woo the South Carolina senator.
A source familiar with the details confirmed the Scott endorsement, which was first reported by the New York Times.
