How one question from Joe Biden explains his feud with Rick Scott
Riding the momentum of a strong State of the Union address and the elevation of a political battle he and his top advisers relish, he needed assurance on one detail for his scheduled remarks in Florida a few hours later. “We have copies of the Scott plan at this event, right?” Biden asked. Yes, he was told. The two-page, front-and-back pamphlets quoting Sen. Rick Scott’s proposal to sunset all federal legislation, including Social Security and Medicare, every five years, would be there.
When President Barack Obama won the state in 2008, with Biden by his side, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans by almost 700,000. Registered Republicans now outnumber Democrats by nearly 400,000. GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who narrowly won his first statewide race, blew out his Democratic challenger in 2022 by 19 points, accelerating the running Democratic conversation about whether Florida has moved out of reach.
