Biden Defends Social Security in Fiery Chicago Speech
Though no longer in office, Joe Biden made waves with a passionate speech at a Chicago conference, defending Social Security and criticizing Republican efforts to weaken it.
Speaking to advocates for the disabled, Biden called Social Security a personal issue for millions, warning against proposals to reauthorize it every five years. While not naming Trump, he slammed past policies—like tax cuts for the wealthy—as harmful to the system.
“They want to wreck it so they can rob it,” Biden said, vowing to protect the program. As election season nears, his words reignite debate over Social Security’s future.
