The day before the rally, Scott announced he had popped the question to his girlfriend Mindy Noce. Scott posted a series of photos of him and Noce on the beach with him on bended knee.

He added, “A very, very fine person, a man that we work so closely, and I work so closely with. He was in the Senate, he’s been there now a long time, and one of the most respected people in all of Washington. Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina.”
