South Carolina Republican Senator Tim ScottThe Republican, who recently endorsed former President Donald Trump for a second term, told Fox News on Saturday that his candidacy is attracting minority and young voters to the Republican Party.

“Consider the fact that [people said of] Ronald Reagan: “He can't win, he's just an actor.'' He doesn't have the ability to appeal beyond California, beyond conservatives, beyond independents,'' Scott said.
“Here's what we know: Then, in 49 of the 50 states, Ronald Reagan did something no other president had done.”

“More than 40 percent of Hispanics are now paying attention to Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Why? Because Donald Trump produced the lowest unemployment rate in Hispanic history.”
Scott said white voters and minority voters alike care about the same things: safe streets, safe borders and a good economy.
“It's only in the minds of liberals and Democrats that the color of your skin determines how you vote. Donald Trump is changing everything we know about American politics today. That’s good news for us.”
Scott said President Trump's second term would bring the same prosperity felt between 2017 and 2020 into 2025 and beyond.
If Trump is elected, he will become the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms, following New Jersey Democrat Grover Cleveland.
