Tim Scott shifts bulk of his resources to Iowa as campaign struggles nationally

The South Carolina Republican's presidential campaign said it will double staff in Iowa, moving money and staff away from New Hampshire.

Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential campaign is going “all-in” on the Iowa caucuses as his White House bid struggles to gain momentum nationally among Republicans.

Scott's campaign said it will shift resources from New Hampshire to Iowa, doubling its staff in Iowa and opening new headquarters in West Des Moines. It also plans to spend more on advertising ahead of the first-in-the-nation caucus on Jan. 15, it said in a statement.

"Tim Scott is all-in on Iowa," campaign manager Jen DeCasper said in a statement Monday. “No other candidate has the resources, the foundation of support and the message to be successful in the Hawkeye State.”

The Des Moines Register first reported the campaign’s new focus on Iowa.

The campaign’s revised strategy will bring Scott, of South Carolina, back to Iowa every week in the lead-up to the caucuses. Scott will conclude a five-day tour of the state Tuesday.
