Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott criticized President Joe Biden on Sunday for being 'slow to react' to multiple crises including a southern border crisis, sky-high inflation and a baby formula shortage that's already sent multiple children to the hospital.
It comes as a new poll suggests Americans are still wary with Democrats' handling of the economy - while nearly seven in 10 voters think the US financial system is in dire straits. 
'I think those numbers are consistent with what we've seen, that inflation is still the number one issue in the country and the president is slow to react, whether it's the border, whether it's inflation, whether it's gas prices, even Ukraine,' Scott told CBS News Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan.
The senator predicted consumer prices - which rose 8.5 percent in April, according to the most recently available data - would take center stage in November's midterm elections that will decide which party controls Congress for the latter half of Biden's term.
'I think the election this fall is going to be about inflation. It's going to be about the effectiveness of the Biden administration,' said Scott, who is in charge of Senate Republicans' campaign arm.
He added: 'And I think it bodes well for Republicans.'
If his prediction is true, then Republicans would have a lot to look forward to.

Among a list of issues facing the country, respondents to the newest CBS News/YouGov poll said they trust Republicans more than Democrats on the economy and inflation.

Sunday's poll shows Americans are wary of both major parties in Congress - given a list of words and asked which most closely resemble each side of the aisle, a majority of voters complained the Democratic Party is 'weak' while painting the GOP as 'extreme.'
Nearly half of Republican voters also said hearing their leaders condemn white nationalism is 'not very important' or not important at all - less than a quarter said it was 'very important.'
Conversely, 75 percent of Democrats said it was 'very important' for leaders to call out white extremism. 
The statistic is particularly stark while the city of Buffalo, New York is still reeling from last weekend's mass shooting where a white gunman purposefully targeted a predominantly black supermarket and killed 10 people.
Asked about the partisan gap, Scott swiftly said that 'we ought to all condemn any hatred.'












'We ought to condemn any white supremacy.

We've got to figure out how to come together,' the senator said.
He then took aim at 'racial politics' in general.
'We ought to judge people by their character, not, you know, not their skin color.
So, we've got to figure out how to bring people together,' Scott said. 
However the Florida Republican was hesitant to say he would advise GOP candidates running for Senate to condemn white nationalism.
'Well, I tell people what I believe.

And, you know, every- every Senate candidate on both sides is going to decide what is important to them, and what is important to the citizens of their state,' Scott explained.
The host pressed, 'So, the answer is yes?'
'Oh, if they asked me, I would say be clear.
Be clear. I mean, we do not believe - none of us - I don't think any American should believe in white supremacy or hatred of any kind,' Scott said.
