Republican lawmakers make final midterm election push: We're going to have a great night
Florida Sen. Rick Scott predicts Republicans will secure at least 52 Senate seats as a referendum on Democrats
Sen. Rick Scott optimistic about GOP's Senate chances: We're going to have a great night
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., responds to Biden's social security attacks and discusses the GOP's priorities ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
With less than a week to go until the crucial 2022 midterm elections, Republican lawmakers joined "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday to weigh in on their chances to take back the Senate and the House, calling the elections a failed "report card" for Democrats.
As key races continue to narrow in favor of Republicans, President Biden is turning up attacks on the GOP agenda, specifically Florida Sen. Rick Scott. Biden singled out the National Republican Senatorial Committee chair Tuesday night during a visit to the Sunshine State, where he attacked Republican policies.
Scott, however, is optimistic voters will side with Republican candidates despite the president's attacks.
"We're going to take 52 [seats] plus. We're going to win, and we're going to keep all 21. Oz is going to win in Pennsylvania. We're going to win in Georgia. We're going to win in Nevada. I think we're going to win in Arizona. I think we're going to win in New Hampshire. If you look at the polling numbers, we can win even more than that," Scott told FOX Business host Maria Bartiromo.

Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., also weighed in on Biden's attacks on Republicans, arguing the president's aggressive speech Tuesday serves as sufficient evidence that the administration "doesn't understand" voters' true concerns.
"People are talking about the economy. They're talking about crime. They're talking about the border. And going back to the economy, which is really the number one issue, just having trouble making ends meet. He doesn't understand the problems, and he nor Pelosi nor Schumer are offering any solutions," Kustoff said Wednesday.
Biden might come out of his ‘far-left corner’ after midterms: Rep. David Kustoff
Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., previews the imminent midterm elections as Republican candidates continue to gain momentum across the country on ‘Mornings with Maria.’
"Biden is throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. And if we get control of the House and the Senate come January after the November election, they would have to jam that through during this lame-duck session, which I think is, number one, highly improbable," he continued.
GOP lawmakers are prepared to hit the ground running after Election Day, honing in on the countless concerns Republicans have had with Biden's legislative agenda.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., shared Scott's midterm optimism, arguing America needs to "get rid" of the Democrats in office and vote Republican "up and down" on the ticket.

"The American people under straight Democrat rule are very concerned, almost sickened by the impact of the direction of the country, by where they think the economy is going by their own future. And this election is going to be a report card on the Democrats' policies, and they get an F. An F on inflation, an F on the economy, an F on the border, an F on crime," Barrasso said Wednesday.
