From Fox News: Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is running to lead the Senate Republican campaign arm in the next election cycle, sharing the announcement exclusively with Fox News Digital.
On Friday, Scott launched his bid to lead the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for the 2026 midterm cycle, after speculation last month that he planned to do so.
“Let’s do this! I’m running for NRSC Chair because two years of a Republican agenda is good, but four years of success under Donald J. Trump is even better,” he told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“That means the entire four years of his presidency will create low inflation, secure borders and safe streets, leading to a generation of American prosperity! With Donald J. Trump in the White House and Republicans leading the U.S. Senate, we will protect our majority in 2026 and create opportunities for all Americans.”

Scott, who briefing ran for president himself in the Republican primaries, later dropped out and endorsed Trump. He was one of those being considered to be Trump’s running mate, but Trump ended up choosing Sen. JD Vance instead.
So far, Scott’s bid to be the next NRSC Chair has been endorsed by current NRSC Chair Steve Daines (R-MT), Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wy.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
A vote will be held on November 13, the same day Republicans will also be voting on who will replace Sen. Mitch McConnell to be the next Senate Majority Leader.

Let’s get to work!” Scott wrote in another social media post Friday morning.
