Media interview
Scott stated the following in an interview with Charlotte Observer:
What would be your top priority if elected?
To fix the fractured mess the Republicans have made. Example: defund ICE and fix it.
Republican and Democratic candidates often explain the state of the economy differently. How do you see it and what, if anything, would you do that you believe would improve it? What I see is decades of poor fiscal responsibility. The Republicans don’t want to pay taxes, and the poor and middle class can’t pay the entire bill.
In 2025, Congress caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. What should members of Congress do to prevent this in the future and how important is it for Congress to pass a budget? The best way to stop a government shutdown is don’t introduce bills that harm people.
Lawmakers have been at odds on Capitol Hill over health care coverage for Americans. Where do you stand on Medicaid coverage and Affordable Care Act subsidies?
I think Universal health is the best way to fix health care.
Should the president go before Congress before taking military action in foreign countries? Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution requires congressional approval of war.
Do you support the tactics that the Trump administration has used in immigration enforcement? Do you believe the immigration crackdown has had collateral effects for residents with legal status? Blowing doors off of hinges with explosives is a bit excessive. And yes
Do you believe oversight of public education should be left up to individual states? No, there should be a standard. But, the states should have wiggle room.
Is there an issue on which you disagree with your party? What is your position on that issue? The Democratic Party holds onto the past too much. It just seems like even when it looks like it’s best to explore a new way, they flinch.
