“U.S. Sen. Tim Scott easily won the Republican primary in South Carolina on Tuesday, setting up a general election that could make him the state’s first elected black senator.”

Am I missing something?

What they didn’t state, is that Senator Scott was appointed to this Senate seat, when Senator DeMint resigned. So this is his first election running for the Senate seat.

Wow I am thinking the same reading this. I thought perhaps I jumped over a word or something. I need to reread that long sentence again.

You post with the excerpt: “U.S. Sen. Tim Scott easily won the Republican primary in South Carolina on Tuesday, setting up a general election that could make him the state’s first elected black senator.”

and then ask"Am I missing something?"

I'm scratching my head too - Isn't he ALREADY a Senator???? - ahhh - yes.
