The Republican field is shrinking, as Sen. Tim Scott (R-sc) said Sunday evening that he is suspending his presidential campaign.
Scott said on Fox News’ Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy that voters “who are the most remarkable people on the planet…they’re telling me, not now, Tim.”
Gowdy seemed surprised by Scott’s announcement, and said, “You have plenty of money. You have the highest approval numbers of any candidate that is running, and you are couple of states away from coming to a state where you are beloved, and you are suspending your presidential campaign?”
“I think the message is clear for me right now,” Scott said.
Scott was among five candidates who qualified for the Republican debate last week, but he has failed to have a breakout moment at any of the three events so far this cycle. Frontrunner Donald Trump has been skipping the debates,...

The 2024 presidential race already has its first candidate to drop out: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
The GOP contender announced on Tuesday that he was suspending his campaign, which failed to gain traction amid a large field of alternatives to front runner Donald Trump. Suarez failed to qualify for the first presidential debate last week, something that also may prove to be a reckoning for other candidates absent from the stage.
“While I have decided to suspend my campaign for President, my commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains,” Suarez said in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I will continue to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community – the fastest-growing voting group in our country. The Left has taken Hispanics for granted for far too long, and it is no surprise that so many are finding a home in America’s conservative movement.

Donald Trump says that he won’t participate in the first Republican debate, but seven of his rivals will be on the debate stage.
The Republican National Committee confirmed the list of those who qualified for the Wednesday event, to be telecast on Fox News and moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Those who will be in the debate include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Un ambassador Nikki Haley, former pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Tim Scott (R-Sc), former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.
To qualify, candidates must have a minimum of 40,000 donors and to have reached at least 1% in three national polls or a combination of two national and two early-state polls. Candidates also need to sign a pledge vowing to support the eventual nominee. Trump met the donor and polling criteria,...

(Updated with more details) Ron DeSantis is running for President.
Making it official today after months of proxy campaigning, the Florida Governor unveiled his 2024 White House ambitions just before a scheduled Twitter hosted interview with the social media company’s owner Elon Musk. Earlier Wednesday, DeSantis filed the paperwork necessary with the Federal Election Commission to begin his bid.
Already a criticized unconventional choice, the Twitter Spaces conversation with Musk was hit with glitches leaving many listeners unable to tune in, so to speak.
Over 500,000 users experienced crashes or audio problems from the start. Within about 25-minutes the whole experiment seemed to not only crash but burn, and was abandoned as Twitter servers overloaded due to demand, according to Musk.
A few minutes beforehand, it was actually quite easy to hear and see where DeSantis was coming from in a more conventional format.
“Truth must be our foundation,” DeSantis exclaimed...

Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced today that Fox News will host the first official Republican debate of the party’s 2024 presidential primary race in August in Milwaukee.
The date hasn’t been set yet, she said in an interview on Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends this morning.
She said that participants would be asked to pledge going into the event that they will support the eventual Republican nominee, whomever that may be. Donald Trump is the current front-runner, according to polls. “It’s about beating Joe Biden,” she said.
“Let me ask you this, as R.N.C. chair… if I said I wouldn’t support the nominee of our party I’d be kicked out. So why would we host a debate stage without every candidate saying I’m going to support whoever the voters choose, and the voters want that.”
While the number of candidates isn’t yet known,...
