AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is cranking up his feud with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), maneuvering to pressure the Kentucky sage not to cave to President Joe Biden on the debt limit.
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.
