Scott touts ‘deal guy’ background in bid for Senate majority leader
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) is emphasizing his prior experience as a “deal guy” in his effort to become Senate majority leader. Scott, the sole Black Republican senator, is positioning himself as a pragmatist who can bridge the partisan divide. “I’m a deal guy,” Scott said in a recent interview. “I’ve always been able to find common ground.”
Scott’s supporters believe that his business background and bipartisan record make him the best choice for the leadership position. However, his detractors say that he does not have enough experience in government or foreign policy.
