McConnell suggested that Senator Rick Scott could have difficulty securing re-election in Florida.
Speaking, McConnell was asked about Scott's proposals and Biden's claims that Republicans"want to sunset Social Security and Medicare. So is that true?"
"Unfortunately, that was the Scott plan; that's not a Republican plan. That was the Rick Scott plan," McConnell said."The Republican plan, as I pointed out last fall, if we were to become the majority, there were no plans to raise taxes on...the American people or to sunset Medicare or Social Security."
"So it's clearly the Rick Scott plan, it is not the Republican plan," McConnell continued."And that's the view of the speaker of the House, as well."🔥“I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own re-election in FL: a state with more elderly people than any other state in America”
