Tim Scott's Super PAC Abandons Ad Campaign Amid Struggling Presidential Bid

The super PAC supporting Sen. Tim Scott's presidential campaign, Trust in the Mission PAC, has canceled its planned fall TV ad buy, citing that the electorate is not yet focused or ready for a Trump alternative. The memo to donors acknowledged the difficulty of challenging Trump's dominance in the Republican primary, despite his absence from debates and legal troubles. The PAC currently has nearly $27.3 million in future TV reservations. The memo also emphasized that a moderate candidate is unlikely to win the primary, rejecting calls to clear the field for other contenders like Gov. Nikki Haley.
