Book Publisher May Have Accidentally Revealed First Republican To Challenge For GOP Nomination In 2024

A book publisher may have accidentally revealed that U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is planning to launch a bid to be the next president of the United States.

A new memoir from Scott claims that he is readying a presidential campaign in 2022, which Scott now denies. The revelation on the book’s copyright page appears to be a mistake whether it is wrong or just premature, and left the publisher red-faced.

“Senator Scott is a rising star who sees and understands the importance of bipartisanship to move America forward,” the book states in small font. “This book is a political memoir that includes his core messages as he prepares to make a presidential bid in 2022.”

Scott told The Post and Courier that it was “fascinating that that’s the copy on the book” but that the book, “America, a Redemption Story,” was not the start of a White House bid.
