Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) hit out against Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) over the Florida Republican’s proposed agenda for the party, calling it a “bad idea” that could cost him reelection in the Sunshine State.
Scott announced the 12-point “Rescue America” agenda nearly a year ago, ahead of the midterm elections, a move that raised eyebrows as he broke with McConnell and other Republican leaders who declined to release a blueprint for how they would govern if they retook the majority of either congressional chamber. The Florida Republican then used that agenda to mount a leadership bid against McConnell last month.“[Rescue America] is a bad idea,” McConnell told radio host Terry Meiners on his podcast.
Scott’s plan does not specifically name Medicare or Social Security, but Democrats have used that as an attack against the GOP throughout the midterm election cycle.
