Biden's First Post-Presidency Speech Targets Social Security

Former President Joe Biden is set to deliver his first public speech since leaving office, focusing on the defense of Social Security amidst growing threats to the program under the Trump administration. Biden will address the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) conference in Chicago, where he will highlight the importance of protecting Social Security benefits, which have faced challenges due to budget cuts and administrative issues. Democrats have been critical of the Trump administration's actions, including personnel cuts at the Social Security Administration and efforts to destabilize the program. This speech marks Biden's re-entry into the public eye as Democrats seek to reorganize after recent electoral losses, and he is expected to be joined by other notable political figures such as former Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Martin O'Malley. Biden's remarks underscore the ongoing political battle over Social Security, with Democrats aiming to safeguard the program against proposed Republican overhauls. The event is seen as a crucial moment for Biden to reaffirm his commitment to protecting Social Security, which he describes as a 'sacred promise' to Americans.
