He defended his bill to end the benefits cliff, allowing states to gradually reduce aid as incomes grow, promoting self-reliance and discouraging dependency. However, Democrats criticized him for being out of touch with everyday struggles, setting the stage for a contentious Senate race with former Senator Sherrod Brown.
