Sen. Tim Scott (RS.C.) announced his 2024 presidential bid on Monday.

Scott's bellicosity was no mere bolt from the blue.

Republicans have increasingly concluded that the war on drugs would best be treated by sending the military into Mexico.

Donald Trump first floated the idea, while he was president, of designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

"Just like we dealt with ISIS, you do the same thing with the cartels," Vivek Ramaswamy said in a March interview.

"This is something that I actually expect to do as the next president of the United States in the first six months," he said.

Tim Scott: "We should do whatever it takes to secure our southern border".
