President Biden and the White House have been vocal in their criticism of Republican senators Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Ron Johnson over their proposals that could affect retirement and health care programs. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been particularly vocal in his criticism of Scott's "Rescue America" plan, which proposed that all federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. The Republican senators have responded forcefully, accusing Biden of deceiving the public about where they stand, and the debate between the White House and Republican senators is likely to continue in the coming weeks.
