The White House is all-in on elevating the profile of Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott, but does it do so at its own peril?
President Joe Biden, trying to set up a contrast between the Democratic agenda and a potential Republican majority, is the latest Democrat to seize on Scott’s tax and entitlement proposals. Facing stiff headwinds, Democrats will be looking to cast the election as a choice between them and Republicans rather than a referendum on their control since 2021.
Scott was the primary GOP target of Biden’s remarks Tuesday on fighting inflation, a speech that focused more on highlighting the administration’s efforts to date and stalled legislation than on new proposals.
