WEX Wakeup: Sen. Tim Scott suspends 2024 presidential campaign; Ronna McDaniel talks election losses

#wexwakeup for Monday, November 13☕☀️

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) suspended his campaign for the presidency.
In announcing the suspension of his campaign, Scott made clear that his political career is far from over, and he still has high aspirations. The news came on Fox News's Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy. "If you ever want to love your country more, run for president. Traveling this country, meeting people has been one of the most fantastic experiences of my entire life. I love America more today than I did on May 22nd," Scott said. "But when I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign."

No Labels National co-Chairman Larry Hogan was pessimistic about Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) launching a presidential campaign at all, let alone via his third party. Hogan appeared on State of the Union Sunday to respond to the speculation of Manchin's next move. The former Democratic governor of Maryland admitted that Manchin "has been involved in No Labels for a long time."

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel skirted responsibility for last week's election losses, dismissing critics as not understanding what her role was. In an appearance on NBC News's Meet the Press, McDaniel gave her perspective on Republican losses in the recent 2023 elections, for which she has faced a significant amount of blame. The RNC chairwoman avoided blame for the losses and said that critics don't understand what the role of the RNC is.
