Sen. Tim Scott‘s (R-SC) efforts as a buoyant campaign surrogate for former President Donald Trump did not result in a vice presidential reward. Yet the South Carolina senator remained in full support of Trump during the first full night of the Republican National Convention.

Scott spoke Monday during prime-time hours after Trump announced Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) would join the ticket as his running mate. Scott received one of the loudest applause when he appeared onstage.
