Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and GOP Sen. Rick Scott are in a feud over Scott's proposal to sunset popular benefit programs like Medicare and Social Security, with McConnell calling it a "bad idea" and not reflective of Republican priorities. McConnell and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) have both stated that the proposal is not the Republican plan and would not have been included in their agenda even if they had won control of the chamber in November's midterm elections. Biden has been hitting Republicans hard on the subject, and McConnell and Scott's disagreement shows no signs of easing.
