Tim Scott promised Trump big cash to reach Black voters — but delivered little: analysis
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (R) promised Donald Trump that he would raise buckets of money, but as of Wednesday had yet to come up with the cash, a new report reveals.
Scott's Great Opportunity PAC, launched this summer, promised to deliver Trump $14 million to help his GOP pal reach out to Black voters, Politico reported Wednesday.
According to Politico's analysis of campaign finance reports, Scott had only been able to raise about 10 percent of the pledge with just $1.4 million.

"Its fundraising was largely driven by a $550,000 donation from Great Opportunity Policy Inc., a social welfare nonprofit, as well as contributions from GOP megadonors Jeff Yass and Marc Rowan, who wrote checks for $500,000 and $200,000, respectively," the report stated.
Politico cited a "person close to Scott granted anonymity," saying that there was a "slew" of checks that came in at the last minute, and the recent campaign finance reports don't reflect that.
According to the report, it's unclear if those last-minute donations will add up to the full amount.
The political action committee has spent about $1 million in ads in swing states, Politico reported.
The ads discussed school choice candidates like the far-right Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Dave McCormick, who is running against Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA).
Trump's campaign has attempted to reach out to Black men in an effort to chip away at the Democratic votes.
Polls show that Trump is doing far better with the group than previous Republican candidates in presidential elections, Politico reported.
