Rick Scott's rogue plan to 'rescue' America has become a fundraising 'godsend' for Democrats as they
roast the GOP about his plan to raise taxes
The Trumpian midterm reelection plan Republican Sen. Rick Scott had hoped would electrify colleagues has instead reenergized Democrats in both chambers, sparking nationwide campaign ads, fundraising appeals, and fresh lines of attack against GOP lawmakers on the ballot this fall.
The 11-point strategy, which Scott developed on his own and unveiled February 22, takes conservative-fueled culture wars and MAGA priorities to another level prompting fellow Republicans to characterize it as "polarizing" and "silly." In addition to imposing new taxes on low- and middle-income earners currently exempt from federal collections, Scott declares war on national mask mandates, local school boards, and race relations in general.
"Sen. Rick Scott's plan to raise taxes on working families and seniors by more than $100 billion is a godsend to Democrats. Hope he keeps it up," a Senate Democratic leadership aide said of the Florida Republican's freestyle "Rescue America" package.
Democrats all over the US have moved quickly to tie the plan to Republican candidates given that Scott leads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the main campaign arm for the Senate GOP. Opposition researchers have pounced on the issue particularly because Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, hasn't released a policy plan.
