Biden slams Trump for saying there's 'a lot you can do' to cut Social Security
With the 2024 general election switching into high gear, the Biden rapid-response team is hitting Donald Trump hard on a key issue: Social Security and Medicare. Trump appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday morning and told host Joe Kernen that “there is a lot” that can be done to cut social insurance programs—Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements—in terms of cutting—and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,” Trump said, adding, “Tremendous bad management of entitlements. There is tremendous amounts of things, and numbers of things, you can do.”
“Not on my watch,” Biden tweeted in response. The Biden-Harris team followed up, ready with a montage of all the times Trump has threatened the programs, including Monday morning.
