Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) hasn’t yet slammed the door shut on running for governor back home in South Carolina, but he seems to be getting there.
Scott, who has served in the Senate since 2013, has recently mulled a run for governor, perhaps alongside his close friend, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) as a lieutenant governor candidate.
On Monday evening, he said he doesn’t “have the fire to move forward yet” with a gubernatorial bid in South Carolina and signaled that a final decision could come soon.
