Leads Bicameral Press Conference Supporting Two-Step Reconciliation Process to Advance Trump Agenda

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Senator Rick Scott released a weekly update on his actions to address America’s debt crisis and rising inflation. As Floridians are struggling to make ends meet, reports from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that the federal government’s key inflation indicator, Personal Consumption Expenditure, rose again in November putting strain on the budgets of American families and small businesses.

Earlier this week, Senator Scott led a press conference with Congressman Andy Harris, Chair of the House Freedom Caucus, and their Senate and House Republican colleagues supporting a two-step reconciliation strategy in the 119th Congress. The members have been clear on the need to immediately pass a reconciliation bill focused on transformational America First legislation to secure the border, followed by the passage of a second reconciliation bill to prevent Democrat tax hikes, extend the Trump Tax Cuts, and slash wasteful government spending through reforms and cuts identified by the new Department of Government Efficiency. Joining Senator Scott and Congressman Harris were Senators Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Representatives Andy Biggs, Ralph Norman, Clay Higgins and Scott Perry.
