My republican sources over the summer, before the midterm elections. the fact that biden bringing it up without naming names in the chamber. it elicited chants of liar and others. today, though, you can' it, biden bringing the receipts, opening up the plan from senator rick scott who you're right is not a back bencher within this congress. he has close ties to former president donald trump. and the person in charge of trying to win the senate back for republicans. we know that did not work. democrats told control of the chamber, this is something scott has tried to thread the needle on. when y...
