U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., yells as he fires up Donald Trump supporters at a rally for Trump on Feb. 14, 2024, in North Charleston.

Republican Senators elected South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott to serve as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick praised the decision.

"Sen. Scott has been a champion for conservative Republicans in South Carolina and around the country for over a decade in the US Senate,” McKissick said. “His work speaks for itself, in particular, his Opportunity Zones initiative that continues to bring economic success to struggling communities across our country. I have no doubt he will continue to be a strong leader as Chairman of the NRSC and work to lead Republicans to more Senate victories in 2026, and I applaud him for this achievement."
