On August 5, 2025, Scott highlighted recent achievements in Congress by stating, “July’s progress reflects what’s possible when we stay focused on delivering results for the American people, and I look forward to continuing this momentum in the months ahead.”
Later that day, he addressed efforts to prevent discrimination in banking based on political or religious beliefs. He wrote, “I’ve led the fight in Congress to stop the debanking of federally legal businesses and law-abiding citizens based on their political or religious affiliations.
