Sen. Tim Scott’s potential candidacy welcomed by Fox News, doubted by Newsmax
"On April 12, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) announced the formation of his presidential exploratory committee, to little fanfare among some of the right-wing media figures he would need to impress to win the Republican nomination. Scott’s potential candidacy received a warm, polite welcome from several Fox News figures, yet voices on its conservative cable rival Newsmax were notably less supportive. Many prominent right-wing media apparently said nothing at all.
Scott’s announcement video was “fantastic,” according to some Fox personalities, for leaning into “his own life story, which I think everybody in America … should hear about.” But even on a network that’s called Scott “the candidate of hope,” there is a realization that “he’s on the second tier” at best, and stands no chance unless former President Donald Trump “has to leave the race for some reason.”
The few non-Fox figures among right-wing media discussing Scott’s campaign are often more succinct about whether they believe in the senator’s chances: “Not this time.”"
