Tim Scott’s girlfriend Mindy Noce makes onstage debut Miami Republican debate
Tim Scott was joined by a notable guest during the recent Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday — his girlfriend.
According to a campaign statement, the woman who appeared alongside Scott on stage after the debate and posed for a photo with him was confirmed to be «his girlfriend Mindy.»
The woman in question was later revealed to be Mindy Noce, currently serving as a design and renovations manager in Charleston, South Carolina.
Scott's personal life has attracted attention during the campaign, particularly since the 58-year-old South Carolina senator has never been married. In subsequent interviews following the debate, Scott shared that he and Noce have been in a relationship for approximately a year, and she had also attended his campaign launch event earlier in the year.
Earlier this year, during a campaign stop in Iowa, Scott opened up about his girlfriend, offering insights into his upbringing and faith as he discussed his relationship.
While addressing various topics, including COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other policies, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird inquired if there was a «special lady» in his life, aside from his mother.
To this, Scott responded affirmatively, referring to his girlfriend as «a lovely Christian girl.» In a light-hearted moment, he jokingly asked the crowd, «Can we just pray together for me?»
The South Carolina lawmaker further emphasized, «As a person who grew up in a single-parent household with significant financial challenges, I fully grasp the impact of family breakdown. I had to face the consequences of an absent father.
