EXCLUSIVE: The Senate Democrats' campaign arm is taking aim at a policy plan proposed by SenRickScott which has drawn skepticism from the GOP Senate leader due to several controversial provisions.
A Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee digital ad targets National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Scott’s “11-Point Plan to Rescue America.” The digital spot highlights a heated exchange this week between Scott and Fox News's John Roberts over the proposal’s language calling for federal programs to be reauthorized every five years. Roberts noted in the Fox interview that this could lead to the end of Social Security and Medicare.
The DSCC said the five-figure digital advertising campaign is slated to air in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The DSCC is looking to reach older voters in these swing states, each of which could play a crucial role in deciding who wins the Senate majority in November. Democrats currently hold a virtual majority in the 50-50 chamber thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris's tiebreaking vote.
“If we’re fortunate enough to have the majority next year, I’ll be the majority leader," McConnell told reporters."I’ll decide in consultation with my members what to put on the floor. Let me tell you what will not be on our agenda.” McConnell added, “We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda.”
