NTD Evening News (May 22): Sen. Tim Scott Formally Launches 2024 Presidential Bid; Idaho Murder Suspect Refuses to Enter Plea

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) formally launched his bid for president during an event in North Charleston, South Carolina. The suspect in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students opted on May 22 to “stand silent” to murder charges, prompting the judge to enter not-guilty pleas on his behalf ahead of a trial in which he could face the death penalty. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy met with President Joe Biden at the White House for the third time this month. The goal remains to reach an agreement on how to increase the nation’s borrowing limit to avoid a default.
