Quick Glance: Biden focuses on Rick Scott as he confronts Republicans on Social Security.
- President Joe Biden made a strong case against Republicans on Thursday by emphasizing his support for Social Security and Medicare, an appeal to the senior-rich Sunshine State as he prepares to announce his reelection bid in 2024.
- Biden called Scott's proposal "outrageous" and vowed to veto it, citing his "spirited debate" with Republicans at the State of the Union.
- "I will fight for Social Security and Medicare."
- It won't help Florida Democrats' case that, despite a $100 million investment from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Biden lost the Sunshine State to Trump in 2020.
