Since 2009, the president has almost always sat down for an interview with the network broadcasting the Super Bowl. But ahead of Sunday\u2019s big game, Fox News is worried Biden is freezing them out, Variety\u2019s Brian Steinberg scooped. Though Fox didn\u2019t demand any conditions for the interview, the White House hasn\u2019t committed, and \u201cexecutives at Fox News are proceeding as if it will not\u201d happen.\nAnd Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott's \u201cRescue America\u201d plan, which states, \u201cAll federal legislation sunsets in 5 years,\u201d with no exceptions for Social Security and Medicare: \u201cThis is a bad idea. I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own reelection in Florida, a state with more elderly people than any other state in America.\u201d\nMore McConnell: \u201cSpeaker [Kevin] McCarthy said Social Security and Medicare are not to be touched, and I\u2019ve said the same. And I think we\u2019re in a more authoritative position to state what the position of the party is than any single senator.\u201d (h/t AP\u2019s Seung Min Kim)\nScott world\u2019s response, via longtime Scott spokesman Chris Hartline: \u201cLol. Rick Scott knows how to win Florida a hell of a lot better than Mitch McConnell does. Some DC Republicans can keep parroting Democrat lies, but that won\u2019t stop Rick Scott from fighting for conservative principles instead of caving to Biden every day.\u201d\nReminder: After Biden called out \u201csome Republicans\u201d Tuesday for wanting to sunset Social Security and Medicare, Scott called the suggestion \u201ca lie\u201d but has not changed the wording of his plan.\nSubscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter\nRaghu Manavalan is the host and senior editor of POLITICO's Playbook Daily Briefing.Jenny Ament is the executive producer of POLITICO Audio.
