Occurrences
Scott and other lawmakers wrote to Secretary Hegseth expressing support for the upcoming Military World Games in South Carolina and North Carolina in 2027 and said they were committed to working with federal and state officials to ensure success.
Evidence
We are writing to you to express our support for the upcoming Military World Games taking place in South Carolina and North Carolina in 2027.
The Pentagon signed off Thursday on Charlotte to host the event known as the Military World Games in summer 2027.
Scott and other South Carolina delegation members sent a letter to the Secretary of War supporting the 2027 Military World Games in South Carolina and North Carolina and saying they wanted the Games to succeed in the Carolinas in 2027.
CISM said its April 2026 coordination visit covered Charlotte and sites across the Carolinas, including The Citadel and Patriots Point in South Carolina, and stated the 2027 Games are scheduled in the Carolinas from June 25 to July 4, 2027.
The letter says the senators support the upcoming Military World Games in South Carolina and North Carolina in 2027.
CISM says its delegation visited Charlotte and the Carolinas and that the Games are scheduled for June 25 to July 4, 2027.
Assessments
The promise was to support hosting the 2027 Military World Games in South Carolina and North Carolina, not necessarily to guarantee the entire event by himself. Evidence shows Tim Scott formally did that while in office by joining a March 6, 2026 letter backing the Games in the Carolinas. Additional evidence that the Pentagon and CISM advanced the 2027 Carolinas hosting plan reinforces that his support was tied to a real hosting effort, but the key deliverable here was his support, which he clearly provided during his current Senate term.
Tim Scott and other South Carolina delegation members formally backed the 2027 Military World Games in a March 2026 letter, and subsequent official reporting shows the Games were slated for the Carolinas with venues in South Carolina and North Carolina. Because the promise was to support the hosting effort, his advocacy satisfied the commitment in office.
Tim Scott supported hosting the 2027 Military World Games in South Carolina and North Carolina, as evidenced by his co-signed letter. The Pentagon later confirmed Charlotte (North Carolina) as the host city for the games. There is no evidence South Carolina will host any part of the event, indicating only partial fulfillment. Meaningful effort was demonstrated by Scott's formal advocacy.
