Sen. Tim Scott joins a growing list of GOP presidential primary contenders and is the second from South Carolina.

U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn has filed to seek a 16th term representing South Carolina's 6th District. South Carolina's lone congressional Democrat is now 81. Clyburn filed his paperwork Monday, saying he's headed into this next campaign in good health and determined to keep working alongside close ally President Joe Biden. Clyburn was first elected in 1992 to represent the majority Black district that sweeps from around the capital city of Columbia down to Charleston. He has risen to the No. 3 Democrat in the House and is the highest-ranking Black member of Congress. Clyburn won his last election by nearly 40 percentage points.

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott and Gov. Henry McMaster have endorsed each other in their Republican primary races for 2022. And Scott will be a special guest at a fundraiser for McMaster's reelection campaign next month. McMaster has yet to draw a primary opponent with significant fundraising, though Greenville businessman John Warren — who largely self-funded his campaign and forced McMaster into a runoff in 2018 — hasn't ruled out trying again. Scott is the Senate's only Black Republican and says this will be his last Senate campaign. He's being mentioned as a possible contender for president in 2024, and is already traveling to early-voting states.
