WASHINGTON, D.C. (WCIV) — Sen. Tim Scott (R- South Carolina) released his first campaign ad on Tuesday one day after he announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election at his alma mater in North Charleston.
The ad, titled "Made in America," focuses on Scott's rise from a child living in poverty to a high-ranking U.S. politician.
I rose from a child of poverty to a candidate for President of the United States because we chose patriotism over pity, and to be victors, not victims.

Scott entered the race with $22 million in funds.
The following is a complete transcript of the ad:
“I am living proof that America is the land of opportunity.
I was raised by a single mother in poverty. She taught me to have stubborn faith, faith in God, faith in ourselves, and faith in America.
I rose from a child of poverty to a candidate for President of the United States because we chose patriotism over pity, and to be victors, not victims.
Made in America – that’s MY story.
That’s why it pains my soul to see the Biden liberals attacking every rung of the ladder that helped me climb. Indoctrination in our schools, Inflation in our economy, crime in our neighborhoods, victimhood in our culture.
To the radical left that says we’re an evil, declining country, I say the truth of MY life disproves YOUR lies.
I’m Tim Scott and I approve this message because I have faith in America, and our president should, too.”
