'We Aren't Going To Waste Our Money': GOP Presidential Candidate Gets ABYSMAL News As Trump Dominates

On Monday, a report from POLITICO revealed that the Super PAC supporting Sen. Tim Scott's (R-SC) candidacy for the Republican nomination, Trust In the Mission or TIM PAC, will be removing all television ads in the coming months as donors lose hope.

According to the report, the TIM PAC will be canceling “all of our Fall media inventory" given that Scott has failed to gain any momentum in the race, notably being stuck in the single digits even in the early states like Iowa and New Hampshire. The PAC has previously dedicated over $40 million in ads in the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses.

"We are doing what would be obvious in the business world but will mystify politicos — we aren’t going to waste our money when the electorate isn’t focused or ready for a Trump alternative,” co-chair of the PAC Rob Collins stated.

“This electorate is locked up and money spent on mass media isn’t going to change minds until we get a lot closer to voting,” he explained.

Instead of sinking the money into television ads, the PAC will be focusing its funding efforts on the grassroots and door-knocking operations throughout Iowa. “The field remains splintered, so we will be patient,” Collins said.

Sen. Scott has failed to gain any traction in the race for the White House. As of this report, he only has the support of 2.1 percent of the Republican electorate nationally while he holds only 5.5 percent in Iowa, 4.0 percent in New Hampshire, and 6.7 percent in his home state of South Carolina, per Five Thirty Eight.

While Scott has been repeatedly overshadowed by his South Carolinian rival Nikki Haley (R-SC), the TIM PAC rejects the idea that Scott should drop out of the race and endorse Haley for the nomination.

“No serious person thinks a moderate will win this primary no matter how many elite insiders champion their candidacies,” Collins said. “DeSantis and Haley have only traded vote share.”

In a statement, the Scott campaign told POLITICO that they were building "for the long haul." “On issues ranging from foreign policy to abortion, he has been the clearest and strongest voice, leading while others have followed,” spokesman Matt Gorman said in a statement. “We’re ready, as ever, to take our message into the early states and beyond.”

As Scott's campaign continues to stagnate, he, like others who have already left the race, will find it difficult to win voter and donor support ahead of the Iowa caucuses in January. Trump's dominance of the field has led to the solidification of his support and forced many GOP donors to reassess who they will back in 2024.
