— ON THE GOP: Perhaps the most notable comments came when Biden continued his recent trend of attacking his Republican opposition, again calling out by name Florida Sen. RICK SCOTT (who the president incorrectly said was from Wisconsin). Of Scott’s proposed GOP agenda, Biden said that “If I hadn’t seen it in writing, I’d think someone is making this up.”

He also admitted that he has been surprised by the state of the Republican Party: “I never expected the ultra-MAGA Republicans who seemed to control the Republican Party now. … I never anticipated that happening.”

Asked to respond to Scott’s prebuttal earlier today that Biden should resign and that he is “unfit” for office, the president said: “I think the man has a problem.” Scott also invited Biden to Florida for a debate on inflation. (Something tells us that won’t be happening.)
