President Joe Biden has expressed concern over former President Donald Trump’s comments about the possibility of “cutting” benefits, putting social security and Medicare at the center of the presidential campaign argument between the two candidates.
The development has the potential to affect the debate around the upcoming elections.
“Many of my Republican friends want to cut Social Security and Medicare again,” Biden said while addressing supporters in New Hampshire. He stated that he will oppose anyone attempting to raise the retirement age or cut Medicare or Social Security benefits. He stated that the nation was built by working people.
In response to former President Donald Trump’s remarks on CNBC’s SquawkBox about the long-term financial difficulties of social programs, Biden emphasized,Even this morning, Donald Trump stated that cutbacks to Social Security and Medicare are being considered anew. The bottom line is that he’s still doing it. I will never allow it to happen. I will not cut Social Security. “I will not slash Medicare.
