The FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast gets ready for a big week in politics. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott officially kicked off his presidential campaign in North Charleston Monday morning.

National politics reporter at the AP Meg Kinnard and Data Columnist at the Washington Post join the crew to weigh in.
