Senator Tim Scott's assertions regarding former President Donald Trump's impact on minority groups have been challenged, particularly regarding economic conditions for Black Americans.

While on Fox News, Scott claimed that minority groups were "better off under Trump," citing low unemployment rates.
However, statistics reveal that Black unemployment reached an all-time high under the Trump presidency, peaking at around 16.8% in May 2020, Jessica Washington reported for The Root.
Contrary to Scott's claims, Black unemployment hit an all-time low of under 5% last year under the Biden administration.
Additionally, a January USA Today/Suffolk poll showed that only 12% of Black voters backed Trump, indicating low support within the community. Scott's assertions have been met with skepticism and criticism, with many disputing the notion that minority groups were universally better off under the Trump administration.
