Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., slammed Sen. Rick Scott's, R-Fla., plan to sunset all federal programs, including Medicare and Social Security, days after President Joe Biden dubbed it the Republican Party's plan at the State of the Union.
McConnell on Thursday said that provisions in Scott's plan could harm his chances of reelection next year in Florida, the state with the highest number of senior citizens in the country. When asked about the provision that would require Social Security and Medicare to be reauthorized every five years, McConnell told longtime Kentucky radio host Terry Meiners that it's "not a Republican plan. That was the Rick Scott plan."
