Democrats seize on GOP Senator Rick Scott's plan to tax more Americans
Democrats are slamming Republican Senator Rick Scott in response to his newly unveiled GOP agenda heading into the midterms, warning if Republicans retake control of the Senate, it will lead to tax increases on millions of Americans.
On Tuesday, Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is charged with getting Republicans elected to the Senate, released an 11-point framework to "Rescue America," amid criticism by Democrats that Republicans would rather blame Democrats but don't have any real ideas of their own to run on in the 2022 midterm elections.
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has not released a public legislative agenda for what his party would do if it retakes control of the chamber in 2022. When asked in January about what the GOP agenda would be, McConnell told reporters, "I'll let you know when we take it back."
Scott says he'll support McConnell again to be the party's Senate leader, but upon releasing his plan, Scott wrote that "if Republicans return to Washington's business as usual, if we have no bigger plan than to be a speed bump on the road to America's collapse, we don't deserve to govern."
