Timothy Eugene “Tim” Scott, born September 19, 1965 (age 56), is an establishment U.S. Senator from South Carolina. Despite being a Republican, Scott has at times sided with liberals and obstructed conservative priorities.

He is formerly a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina's 1st congressional district. Earlier Tim Scott was in the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Mostly a conservative who touts traditional values,[1] Scott made history in being the second black Republican to be popularly elected to the United States Senate after Edward Brooke.
