Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) suspended his presidential campaign on Sunday, just days after he failed to gain traction during the third Republican debate.

I love America more today than I did on May 22nd, but when I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign, Scott said on Fox News . I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that theyre telling me: Not now, Tim.

Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, had been a long-shot candidate in the Republican primary, with him frequently polling in the single digits while attempting to undermine former President Donald Trump s overwhelming stronghold on the Republican Party .

He formally launched his campaign in May while it was flush with $22 million cash. This war chest included an earmarked seven-figure digital ad campaign, which was then the largest in the GOP primary.
