Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said his upbringing in public housing shaped his belief in the American Dream, arguing that the United States remains a place where hard work and opportunity can lead to success.
Scott’s American Dream
On Saturday, in a post on X, Scott reflected on his childhood and tied his personal story to the values he says define the country.
"America is freedom. America is opportunity," Scott wrote.
He added, "America is a country where a boy like me, who grew up in public housing and came from nothing, can build a life for myself."
