Biden to Deliver Keynote at Chicago Disability Conference

Former President Joe Biden is set to make his first public appearance since leaving office with a keynote speech at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) conference in Chicago on Tuesday. The event aims to address critical issues surrounding Social Security, specifically for older and disabled Americans who rely on programs like Supplemental Security Income and Social Disability Insurance. ACRD Executive Director Rachel Buck expressed excitement about Biden's participation, indicating the speech's importance for the future of Social Security. Other notable speakers include former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and former U.S. Senators Roy Blunt and Debbie Stabenow. Biden's return to the political stage comes amid ongoing discussions about the threats to Social Security policy, particularly concerning actions taken by former President Donald Trump. The sold-out conference will also focus on developing solutions for these pressing challenges.
