.SenRickScott ratchets up war with LeaderMcConnell during debt limit battle
With a debt battle in full swing, Scott has been working to ensure the current negotiations don't become a rehash of the 2021 debt limit deal cut with Democrats and is seemingly undeterred from crossing McConnell to prevent that.“You saw [in 2021] he came out and said in July that we would not participate in raising the debt ceiling, and then … he organized 11 people to say we’ll allow the Democrats to do it on our own. We didn’t follow conference rules.
Scott was among the GOP Senate signatories on a letter to President Joe Biden last month declaring opposition to a debt ceiling increase"without real structural spending reform," drawing sharp battle lines. The letter was also a message to McConnell, who didn't sign the letter. The move put McConnell at odds with his House counterpart Kevin McCarthy , but now he is seeking to show a unified force on the debt ceiling debate. Scott is trying to ensure McConnell holds the line this time.
In public, McConnell welcomed the competition at the time, but then earlier this year, he pulled Scott from the Senate Commerce Committee and also did the same for Sen. Mike Lee . Scott publicly surmised the move was retribution for challenging him last year.
