Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) announced plans to run for reelection in 2028 on Wednesday, reneging on his commitment to serve only two terms in the upper chamber.

“The more I travel the state, the more I travel the country, the more I realize the important role that we play in the majority,” Scott told the Post and Courier, reflecting on the razor-thin margin of power Republicans hold in the Senate. Scott is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which serves as the upper chamber’s GOP campaign arm.
