Is the Republican Party witnessing a surge in diversity as three black men have stepped forward to compete for the party’s nomination for president? Former Congressman Will Hurd from Texas, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, and radio host Larry Elder are shaking up the GOP race with their historic candidacies.

Senator Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, has been actively hitting the campaign trail and recently brought the country’s relationship with China into the spotlight. On his Twitter account, Scott emphasized the urgent need to confront China’s ambitions, warning, “China’s goal is not just to surpass us. It is to beat us. They’re buying up our farmland, infiltrating our air space, and tracking our kids. Not on my watch. America can win this competition, but Joe Biden cannot.”
