Biden: “Every single solitary Republican voted against these savings, including Sen. Rubio”

#shorts Biden said, “Folks, this is progress that’s hard won and hard fought by Debbie and some of her colleagues. I wish I could say our Republican friends in Congress made it happen. I truly do, by the way. I truly do, because we used to be able to do a lot of the bipartisan things.

But the truth is, every single Democrat in Congress voted for the Inflation Reduction Act. And every single, solitary Republican in Congress voted against these savings — every single one, including Senator Rubio, who now acts like he doesn’t —

AUDIENCE: Booo —

THE PRESIDENT: No, but I — I really meant — I — I was disappointed. It really disappointed me. Now listen to what they’re telling us. Republicans in Congress are telling us that their number-one priority if they gain control of the congress next Tuesday, is to repeal — number one, the Speaker said — the Leader — Republican Leader said their number-one priority is to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.

Biden wanted older voters not to vote Marco Rubio. In Florida, a state famously popular among retirees, he declare that the current crop of GOP candidates “ain’t your father’s Republican party” and said that he prayed God would deliver his opponents “some enlightenment.” He dinged Demings’ Republican opponent, Sen. Marco Rubio, for failing to back his Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August by the Democratic-led Congress. “Not one single Republican voted for it in the United States Senate,” Biden told a crowd at Hallandale Beach community center. “Every single solitary Republican in Congress voted against these savings, including Sen. Rubio.”

On 11/1/2022, Joe Biden traveled to Hallandale Beach, Florida to deliver remarks on ‘protecting’ Social Security and Medicare and lowering prescription drug costs.
