Surging in the Iowa polls among a crowded pool of Republican presidential hopefuls, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told a crowd at the Iowa GOP’s annual Lincoln Dinner on July 28 that he is “living proof” that anything is possible in America, “but Joe Biden and the radical left” is “attacking the values that made this possible.”

Mr. Scott was one of 13 candidates vying for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination who spoke at the event, a rare occasion when former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared in the same venue at the same time.
