Sen. Rick Scott has revised his plan to overhaul the federal budget to exclude automatic sunsets for Social Security and Medicare from the proposal.
Mr. Scott, Florida Republican, unveiled his amended “Rescue America” on Friday after drawing weeks of criticism from President Biden who accused Republicans of looking to cut the popular entitlement programs.
Nonetheless, Mr. Biden and Democrats have pointed to Mr. Scott’s proposal in accusing Republicans of vying for draconian cuts to the two programs. “I know that a lot of Republicans — their dream is to cut Social Security and Medicare,” Mr. Biden said. “If that’s your dream, I’m your nightmare.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, clarified on Tuesday that Republicans have no intention to end the two programs during his weekly news conference.
“Be careful, Rick, and most importantly, fight for Social Security and Medicare. THERE WILL BE NO CUTS!” Mr. Trump wrote on his social media platform TruthSocial.
