Joe Biden may no longer be in the White House, but he’s not staying quiet. At a recent conference in Chicago, the former president strongly criticized Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers for trying to cut Social Security.
Speaking on Social Security National Day of Action, Biden emphasized the importance of protecting benefits for 73 million Americans. Without naming Trump, he condemned proposals to let Social Security expire unless re-approved every five years, saying, “Who the hell do they think they are?”
He accused the previous administration of giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy while risking critical programs like Social Security. “How do you sleep at night?” he asked those pushing cuts.
Biden made it clear he won’t support any effort to weaken the program and called on leaders to keep their promises to the people. His passionate speech sparked applause — and reignited a national debate over the future of Social Security.
