South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has not raised the promised $14 million for Donald Trump's campaign to reach Black voters. As of Wednesday, Scott's Great Opportunity PAC has only collected about $1.4 million, roughly 10% of the pledge. The PAC's funding mainly came from a $550,000 donation from a nonprofit and contributions from major GOP donors. Reports indicate that last-minute donations may not be reflected in current finance reports, leaving uncertainty about reaching the full amount. The PAC has spent around $1 million on ads in swing states, focusing on school choice candidates. Trump's campaign is working to improve support among Black men, showing better polling results than previous Republican efforts.
