WASHINGTON (Reuters] – Two top Senate Republicans and one of their party strategists were at odds over a controversial bill that was intended to inform voters about the future if Republicans take control in November’s midterm elections.

Sen. Rick Scott’s 11-point plan to “Rescue America”, which he proposed, had been criticized by many Republicans. It would have imposed income taxes on Americans with too low incomes to pay taxes. All legislation passed by Congress must be repealed after five years.

On Tuesday however, Senator Republican Leader Mitch McConnell stated that Scott’s proposed initiatives were out of question.

If we have the majority in the next year’s election, then I will be the majority leader. McConnell spoke at a Republican leadership news conference, which Scott attended as well.

“Let’s see what is not on our agenda. As part of our agenda we will not include a bill which raises taxes for half the Americans and sunsets Social Security or Medicare in five years. He stated that this bill will not feature on the Republican Senate Majority Agenda.

Scott, who is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee which supervises the Senate Republican campaign, was absent before McConnell spoke.

Scott stated Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (Orlando, Florida) that Republicans will not be allowed to govern if it is lost to the Senate Majority and fails to follow the policies outlined by his plan.

The Senate splits 50-50 at the moment, with Democrats currently in control due to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote. Republicans need the support of independent voters to regain the majority. Party strategists worry that Scott’s proposal could distract from their efforts.

Scott spokesperson said that Scott proposed the framework and not the Senate Republican Campaign Chairman.
