Bessent spotted alone

A fan spotted Scott Bessent walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 20, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Scott back on the market?

A rep for Scott Bessent was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Thursday (May 21), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Scott’s phone number?”
