Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the one-time 2024 GOP presidential hopeful who dropped out and recently endorsed former President Donald Trump for 2024, leading some to think he will be Trump’s Vice President pick, just got engaged after proposing to his girlfriend on a South Carolina beach. The senator tweeted the good news late at night on Sunday, January 21.
As background, Sen. Scott, now 58 years old, has never been married and has no children. He has been dating, and is now engaged to, an interior designer from Charleston, South Carolina, named Mindy Noce, alongside whom he appeared for the third GOP debate. He then got engaged on January 21, 2024.
In his late-night post on X about the wonderful news, Sen. Scott wrote, “She said YES. Mindy, thank you for making me the luckiest man in the world. ‘He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord’ – Proverbs 18:22.” He also included two wonderful pictures of the proposal and good news.

Celebrating with Sen. Scott, commenters said things like “God bless you both, and i wish you both the same happiness I’ve had being married to my best friend for 34 years, except you know to each other, not my wife that would be weird” and “Congrats man she’s a real beauty. Have a great day you two fellow cool patriots. Be safe be aware.”
Speaking to Fox News Channel’s Trey Gowdy during an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Night in America,” Sen. Scott told Gowdy, “Going to the beach and getting on one knee, and asking Mindy to marry me was so much more important than anything else, and I wanted to make sure that that sacred day would not be disturbed by anything political.”
Endorsing President Trump at a New Hampshire rally on Friday, January 19, Sen. Scott told the crowd, “We need a president who will close our southern border today. We need Donald Trump. We need a president who will unite our country. We need Donald Trump. We need a president who will protect your Social Security and my momma’s social security.”

Similarly, in a tweet on the matter, Sen. Scott wrote, “We need a president who will close our southern border. We need a president today who will stop the crime in the streets. We need Donald Trump! That is why I am officially endorsing Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.”
Further, Sen. Tim Scott, speaking to CNN’s “State of the Union” about the issue on Sunday, January 21, said, “The only thing I want is four more years of Donald Trump and a Republican majority in the Senate, majority in the House and the White House so that poor kids — who are today growing up in neighborhoods like I grew up in — have a chance for quality education.”
Continuing, he added, “If I can help achieve that through my endorsement by being on the campaign trail in my home state of South Carolina for the next four or five weeks and then beyond — that’s the goal.” The senator then said, when asked if that meant he could be the VP, “you can take it any way you want,” and that his goal is “make America and Americans believe in our future in a way that we do not today.”
