Tim Scott, Annie Andrews meet on Capitol Hill after election

WASHINGTON - South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Sen.-elect Annie Andrews met on Capitol Hill as Andrews visited Washington for new senator orientation.

The meeting came about Monday, nearly a week after the general election, and marked the first time the two had met.

Scott shared a photo of the two and said he looked forward to working with Andrews.

“I look forward to working with Senator-elect Annie Andrews to deliver results, fight for the people of South Carolina, and move our great state forward,” Scott wrote on X.

Andrews said she and Scott discussed potential Medicaid cuts, the threat of rural hospital closures and ways to work together for South Carolinians.

“We may not agree on everything, but we share a responsibility to the people of South Carolina,” Andrews wrote on X. “I look forward to working with Senator Scott — and anyone willing to put our state first.”
