In a CNN segment, President Biden criticized Florida Senator Rick Scott's proposal to sunset all federal legislation, including Medicare and Social Security, after five years unless Congress reauthorizes it. Scott defended his proposal by comparing it to a 2017 Republican health care plan, which Jake Tapper previously called a "cut" during an interview. McConnell has distanced himself from Scott's proposal, stating that it will make his re-election in Florida harder. Jake Tapper joined the segment, calling Scott's plan a "word salad," and noting that most Republicans have distanced themselves from it. The conversation eventually shifted to the Super Bowl, with Tapper expressing hope for an Eagles victory.
