Haley says Disney can move to her home state after it sues DeSantis

GOP presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) suggested on Wednesday that Disney could move to her home state, after the company sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for allegedly harming its business operations.

“Hey @Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida,” Haley tweeted. “We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!”

“SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either,” she added in an apparent reference to former President Trump’s “DeSanctimonious” nickname for the Florida governor.

The Walt Disney Company sued DeSantis and other state officials on Wednesday, claiming that it was subjected to a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” as punishment for “protected speech.”

I think Trump is running away with it. A literal criminal is going to be running against Biden in 2024.

Wow. I had been skeptical of the wisdom of challenging Sinema. Clearly, that can be done while still retaining the Senate seat by a progressive. In (formerly?) red state Arizona no less!

Tim Scott sets May 22 announcement for 2024 presidential bid

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is nearly ready to reveal his decision on entering the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, saying Sunday that he would make an announcement on May 22.

Scott didn’t definitively say that he’ll be announcing his official campaign, but he told those gathered at a downtown Charleston school during a town hall that he would be coming out with his decision at an event in about three weeks in North Charleston, which he calls home.

“It is time to make the final step,” Scott said to a room packed with cheering supporters, as well as a film crew, which a longtime Scott adviser said was gathering “content” for future use, a flick at a potential launch or campaign ad video.

“We will have a major announcement,” Scott added.
