Tim Scott Announces He's Dating A 'Lovely Christian Girl'

Wow, it's rare these days that you hear about a politician's new girlfriend, and it isn't a massive scandal.

Republican 2024 presidential candidate Tim Scott recently announced to a crowd of voters in Iowa that he is dating a "lovely Christian girl."

He was responding to Iowa Republican Attorney General Brenna Bird asking if there was a "special lady" in his life "besides his mom."

"I’m dating a lovely Christian girl," Scott beamed. "One of the things that I love about the gospel of Jesus Christ is that it points us always in the right direction. Proverbs 18:22 says, ‘he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the lord.’"

Scott is the only Republican presidential candidate who has never been married. He said:

As a guy who was raised in a single-parent household mired in poverty, I understand that devastation when a family breaks up. I live with the consequences of a father who was not there. I made a commitment to make sure that never happened in my life. I’m so thankful to know a risen savior that has helped guide my way, and I’m so thankful that he’s allowed my life to intersect at the right time with the right person. And I just say, praise the living God.
