Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., raised $6.1 million for his presidential campaign in the second quarter, a campaign spokesperson said.
It marks Scott's first financial report since jumping into the 2024 presidential race with an exploratory committee in early April.
The Scott campaign got off to a quick-spending start because it transferred a sizable sum from his Senate account to fund his presidential bid.
The campaign spokesperson said Scott had $21 million cash on hand at the end of June, which is down slightly from the nearly $22 million that Scott had in his Senate account at the end of March.
Ron DeSantis' campaign announced raising $20 million as he jumped into the race last quarter.
