He remarked on the financial struggles of working Americans, claiming that a law pushed by Congressional Republicans undermines food assistance and healthcare while favoring wealthy corporations.
Scott criticized this "Big, Ugly Law" for exacerbating inequality and stated, "Instead of addressing rising costs, investing in our workforce, or protecting access to health care, Republicans chose to advance policies that deepen inequality."
