Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said he is tired of his party giving in to Democrat approaches to managing the debt ceiling, urging Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) not to strike a last-minute compromise agreement with President Joe Biden.

“[I am] tired of caving,” Scott told The Hill in an interview at his U.S. Capitol office. “I’m not going to back down,” he said.
