Biden Criticizes Trump's Social Security Policies

In his first major public appearance since leaving office, former President Joe Biden delivered a speech at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference in Chicago, criticizing the Trump administration's handling of Social Security. Biden accused the administration of taking a 'hatchet' to the Social Security Administration, citing job cuts and potential threats to benefits for millions of Americans. He emphasized Social Security as a 'sacred promise' and warned of the psychological impact on beneficiaries if benefits are reduced. This speech marked Biden's return to the national stage, as he aims to challenge President Trump's policies amid concerns over Social Security's future. While Biden avoided mentioning Trump directly by name, his speech highlighted the tensions between Democrats and the current administration over this critical issue. Both parties anticipate Social Security to be a significant topic in upcoming elections.
