Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina will endorse Donald J. Trump on Friday evening at a rally in New Hampshire, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Mr. Scott was traveling to Florida on Friday so that he could fly with Mr. Trump to New Hampshire for the rally, the two people said. His endorsement of Mr. Trump is likely to spur additional discussion of Mr. Scott as a potential running mate for the former president. He is the highest-ranking elected Black Republican in the nation.
Mr. Scott arrived at his decision only recently. After ending his own campaign for president on Nov. 12, he had said he would not endorse “anytime soon.” But he came to the conclusion that Mr. Trump was the best candidate to defeat President Biden, according to one person familiar with his thinking.
A spokesman for Mr. Scott declined to comment. A spokesman for the former president did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During the race, Mr. Trump avoided criticizing Mr. Scott, a sign that he held warmer feelings for the senator, whom he worked alongside while president. In 2020, Mr. Trump had given Mr. Scott one of the most coveted speaking roles in politics, making him a keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention.

The Primary is over.
@ZealousTunaGreen3mos3MO
That's a wrap, unless Kennedy gets some momentum it will 100% be Trump.
@JubilantRepublicRepublican3mos3MO
Scott is back stabbing the woman who appointed him who is herself back stabbing the man who appointed her.
@SelfishPr0p0rtionalDemocrat3mos3MO
The dignity and integrity of Tim Scott in doing what is hard and what is right could fill a blank page. Actually dozens of them.

Nikki Haley responds: "Interesting that Trump’s lining up with all the Washington insiders when he claimed he wanted to drain the swamp. But the fellas are gonna do what the fellas are gonna do."
@Patriot-#1776Constitution3mos3MO
No real person legitimately gives a darn what Haley thinks about anything, the polls are all media propaganda and she's funded by the Left to subvert the GOP.

If she somehow wins, it's gonna be fun to see her mop the floor with these craven pols.
