Will This Republican Be the Next Black President? with Senator Tim Scott

Uncommon Ground with Van Jones

31-08-2022 • 39 mins

“What's being sold today is that one side is good, and the other side is bad. That one side is racist, and the other side is not. There's just nothing further from the truth.”


Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is up for reelection this fall. Many speculate that he will run for president one day soon. Scott is one of only three Black United States senators, and the only Black senator in the Republican Party. His unique tone, set of experiences and views on immigration differentiate him from his peers. No stranger to finding common ground, Scott has worked alongside Democrats on criminal justice reform.


In this episode Senator Scott and Van discuss his police reform work, why he believes more Black Americans should join the Republican Party, and whether the Republican Party attracts extremist elements. Stick around to hear Scott’s advice for VP Kamala Harris and his opinions on the Trump administration.


New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.
