Release: What they are saying... "Scott seizes the spotlight"

What they are saying... "Scott seizes the spotlight"

 "A great moment for Tim Scott. Republicans gave it an A+... If you want to see Americans at their best, listen to this kind of a message." - Lee Carter, Fox News
"A more assertive Scott seizes the spotlight...Scott, who receded into the background during much of the first debate, came out swinging Wednesday evening. He repeatedly sparred with Ramaswamy, citing the tech entrepreneur’s statement in the last debate that his rivals were “bought and paid for.” - Washington Post

 "They love Tim Scott’s story and passion for America" - Lawrence Jones, Fox News

“Who had the best night?...Tim Scott." - Natalie Allison, Politico
 "Scott, no question...he showed a pulse. And for Scott, that was enough to turn in the most complete and substantive performance of the night." - Christopher Cadelago, Politico

 "Scott showed up with a new script. He was energetic."- Sally Goldenberg, Politico

"Tim Scott was inspiring...perhaps the strongest came from South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott in response to a question on education…Scott took the opportunity to both critique his opponent — something he did well throughout the night — while also pivoting to a uniting and inspiring message. To audience cheers, Scott addressed the American people: “Never ever doubt who we are. We are the greatest country on God’s green earth. And frankly, the city on the hill needs a brand new leader.” - Hal Boyd, Deseret News

"[Scott]...had one of the most personally passionate moments." - BBC
"Senator Tim Scott. it seemed like he really showed up and had something to say." - Annmarie Hordern, Bloomberg

"Most of the winners I would say would probably be Haley and Tim Scott...did really stand out." - Rob Cahaly, Trafalgar

"Tim Scott had a good night." - T.W. Shannon, Newsmax

 "Tim Scott is finding his voice." - Brian Kilmeade  

"He came out fighting with a handful of fiery exchanges." - Madison Alworth, Fox Business

Release: 2nd GOP Debate Winner: Tim Scott

2nd GOP Debate Winner: Tim Scott

"WINNERS:
Tim Scott: The South Carolina senator was much more forceful than in the first debate, delivering a body-blow attack line against rival Vivek Ramaswamy by accusing the entrepreneur of being “in business with the Chinese Communist Party.” He also got in one of the first applause lines of the night when asked about President Biden joining striking autoworkers on the picket line this week."

"WINNERS:

Scott later singled out Ramaswamy for saying during the first debate he was "the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for," alleging he was "in business" with the Chinese Community Party and the same people who funded Hunter Biden."

Trace Gallagher: "The response from the crowd was Tim Scott brought his energy. He brought his game tonight."

Garrett Haake: "We did see a much more aggressive Scott challenging Ramaswamy, challenging some of these other candidates to try to create opportunities for himself to better introduce himself."

Wall Street Journal: "Well, they had their moments. Tim Scott finally cut through the disorderly debate with remarks on race and America’s promise."
Larry Kudlow: "Tim Scott I have to give him a lot of credit because he did this riff on Blacks, African Americans, somehow surviving through slavery and then went on to say that the Great Society of LBJ and all the democratic presidents since then have made the black situation worse, not better. Breaking up the black family... I just have to give him credit on that."

Sean Hannity: "He's an inspiring speaker."

Lanhee Chen: "Tim Scott stood out...I think people will see him as someone who wanted to come out and make some points and I think he did."

TRANSCRIPT:
TIM SCOTT: If the radical Left wins, abortions will be performed on minors without their parent's consent.

Babies old enough to feel pain will be aborted.

And poor single mothers like mine, will be told aborting their children will help the economy.

Yet, these people say I am the extremist.

I'm Tim Scott and I approve this message because some Republicans want to retreat on life. I know life is a gift from God and this is a fight we must win.
