Sen. Tim Scott appears on track to be the next chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
The South Carolina Republican was making calls through the holiday weekend, and other contenders for the job for the 2026 cycle were opting against pursuing it.
Scott would bring a natural fundraising network from his 2024 presidential bid. A person familiar with the developments said the immediate focus was on winning back control of the Senate this year, but there appeared to be widespread support for Scott taking the NRSC mantle from Montana Sen. Steve Daines.
